Ok, I'm selling some stuff on Ebay and I'm getting questions from overseas buyers...France, Australia, Brazil about shipping and payment. Should I worry about accepting payment through Paypal? What would be the safest way to make sure I don't get screwed?

    i've shipped to Canada, UK, Germany and Australia all through paypal and ebay it works fine, I've been pretty lucky on it.. but I've heard too many stories about shipping to asia and south america that I generally won't ship there.

    I've used paypal a few times from my end. Pretty much a safe deal for both parties. I should think you will be ok. Everyone I bought from has received funds and shipped no problems.

    How bad do you need the money ??? Myself I only sell to the lower 48 USA after i got fouled up with one to Alaska. Whenever i sell i always get questions from France But why go through the process of checking(not to mention customs) when most of the time the other end is wasting your time. Would i spend 200.00 on a DVD player and then spend 150.00+ on shipping from overseas....NO
