One thing NOT to do; don't offer international shipping with prices and options all laid out on your listing and then decide you don't actually want to ship internationally AFTER someone purchases and pays. I had that happen 3 times last year with ebay and reverb listings from the UK and it was really fucking annoying.

It seems like a good idea to open up auctions to anybody/anywhere but the international customs paperwork and fees could be a real pain.
Complainers, scams, returns, refunds, etc -- no thanks.

I remember (I think) fm Elisha saying he wouldn't sell/ship anything to Italy, period.
Does anyone have any hard yes/no, red lines etc?

I got domestic shipping down pretty well, this couldn't be that much harder, could it?
Just wondering if maybe it's not worth it.

So, uh, anybody ever shipped a small box to South Korea?

DON'T: be that guy, or worse yet, that pawn shop that lists shit on every available platform and doesn't de-list after it's sold.
