  Forget about it... you will end up with more headaches than you can handle on that one...

  The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, TriangleArt Reference SE with Pass Labs Xono Phono Preamp, Walker Precision Motor Drive, ClearAudio Goldfinger Diamond v2 cartridge and Origin Conquerer Mk3c tonearm, Polk Audio "Signature" Reference Series 1.2TL with complete mods, Pass Labs X0.2 three chassis preamp, PS Audio PerfectWave DAC MkII, Pioneer Elite SC-65, Oppo UDP-205 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk audio AB700/800 "in-wall" surrounds.
  
  Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.

  Agreed. He’ll send you a check for $1800 from his “business” account and ask you to return a portion via money order. Scam will just grow and grow.

  eBay automatically adds in international shipping for the international ebay shipping program.
  
  Once the item arrives to the hub in Kentucky, your liability for shipping damage/lost/theft ENDS. It is now EBays responsibility.
  
  I have sold... a lot... through the global shipping program all over the world and (knock on wood) - never had an issue.

  That’s good info Trey. I’ve been wary to try that program. What happens if the buyer wants to return it for a refund?

  The only reason they could return it is if you misrepresent the item.
  
  So, I usually take a video of it functioning, all angles, packaging, etc before shipment.
  
  I have completed maybe 2 dozen or so, from amps, speakers, crossovers, etc - never had any issues. (knocking on wood again) I always check the feedback, etc.

  More info here - but again, always due diligence before committing to any deal. I love the program though and recommend it constantly.

  Thanks for the post....now that you say that I recall shipping something intl long ago via Kentucky or NJ....cant recall. Anyway, I got the guy to send me a complete address so we are good. I just need him to resubmit an offer since I had to decline the first to be able to send him a message for the address.

  Yep, you should be good but you shouldn't have to change your shipping pricing or anything

  Good advice Trey thx! But clearly you don’t have any children lol...that’s a lot of extra time...but might be worth it if the sale was enough more.
