I suppose its sorta like accepting a payment outside of eBay. Its a risk not worth taking.
I like shipping international, its just you have to be smart when doing it. I obviously took the right action and the buyer already accepted the cancellation with no negative so all is good.
I know my first negative will probably be from a international buyer, the chances are always greater but thus far ALL my international sales have been great. Most buyers actually are more grateful and my feedback % is always greater from a international sales compared to USA.
I suppose it really depends on what your selling to. Theres another thread where a guy shipped a watch and has a problem.
Some items just aren't meant for international sales, at least on eBay.
My sales only are increasing internationally and I hope that continues.
