I dont know about DHL,AND OTHER private carriers,does the tracking indicates where is the origin?UK,USA,Somalia?
Also if you have a US Paypal address,what is your return address in case the buyer file a dispute and instructed to return the item?Paypal expects you to enter a US return address.
There was once a seller who has a PAYPAL account based in Netherlands,he moved to JAPAN and sold an item in Japan ,the buyer wants to return the item and file a dispute with PAypal , he instructs the buyer to return it to JAPAN and buyer did and upload the tracking.
But PAYPAL never release the payment as it said the tracking is invalid when it goes to Netherland post office to verify the tracking number.
The seller finally has to refund the buyer from his bank account and let the dispute expired .
