Don't think Thailand mentions Patpong Street either. Girls, boys, men, women, transvestites, etc, etc. You want it, you will find it there.

I shipped a boxful of industrial ISA cards to someone in Germany. No problems - no feedback either!

I also have had no problems with my foreign buyers...so far.

As long as the buyer is on the up and up, it's all good. If the buyer turns out to be a bad apple, though, it can turn out very badly for the seller.

Even if things nominally go well, I think foreign buyers are, on the average, more likely to leave lower "Detailed Seller Ratings". Some of them just can't help feeling less than delighted with the shipping cost and shipping time. Others get all bent out of shape over taxes and duties. It's not rational thinking to punish the seller for things beyond his control, but hey, not all buyers are rational!

The same thing just happed to me. I auctioned some W116 headlight wipers stated shipping to US only and the only bidder was from Italy. $75 bid and $85 shipping. The buyer paid the shipping so I sent it.
