Anyone else experience this feedback pattern?

My feedback score runs between 98-99%.

Out of 450 feedback, I probably averaged about 10 negatives. Of those 10 I was able to pay off 6 of them, so I have 4 negatives.

All 4 of of the negatives came from foreign buyers. They had a domestic address but the names were something like "Eugene Mindrov"

I noticed I have a harder time pleasing foreign customers - maybe its just a coincidence but their seems to be a strong correlation.

Do foreigners have a shorter fuse or is it just me?

Lot more scams out of buyers who are foreign especially when you don't deal with TRACKABLE items. I don't have your particular problem but maybe whatever you are selling is being purchased frequently by the same person - if you're afraid of that, block international sales for that particular item (just an idea).

What is the item?

OR, you could just use express mail usps
yea its an arm and a leg.. and might not be worth the price of shipping..for the item, but it is.. its fine with me

Its harder to get in contact with them. I put in my listings I do not ship to forwarding companies. I have come to recognize those an I cancel them asap. Bad experience.

Yes! Forwarding companies are what I have the most difficulty with.

I get so many foreign names it would be hard to spot a forwarder. How do you make this determination ?

I am also wondering the same question here. I haven't really been able to tell what a forwarder's address looks like? I do notice when addresses look more like a business and double check them, but haven't exactly noticed a forwarder if I've had one.
