I've sold stuff to the US and Canada. Shipping can be expensive so make sure your buyer is aware.
I avoid African countries as lots of items amazingly get 'lost' and demands for refunds start flooding in. I've heard Italy has a problem for that too so I'd probably be wary with there too. |

You are quite correct i have been shafted too many times with Africa and Italy that I won't even post there unless they are internationally signed for.
That being said theirs a few dodgy fookers over here too |

Thanks guys.
I've had a request from south Africa and wasn't sure whether to do it or not. I'll quote her a signed for price and see how that goes down.
I've also just got a message from eBay saying that they're adding the international option to my account if I want to use it. So advice from experience is great, thanks. |

We disabled the international option because people form overseas were bidding without knowing what the full postage costs would be, then cancelling their bid when they found out what the p&p was. We added a line to every advert we place - "will post overseas but contact me for postage costs." You can then allow them to bid individually. We recently sold a toy pushchair to someone in Australia and they paid £76 in p&p  |
