For the people who sold their iPhones on eBay, what did you do about international shipping (if offered)? What services did you allow, and to where? For those who did offer to ship internationally, was the buyer from another country, or were they actually in the US (or whatever country you're from)?

I wouldnt sell anything over seas. Dont do it.. its not worth the risk
 
When it goes overseas, iPhone must go through Customs, and once it clears Customs, your iPhone can be kissed "Good-Bye!" Too many scams out there for me, and not enough "real" money. Don't send anything overseas! :eek:
 
As an Australian who has bought many eBay items from the US - guys, don't be so scared to sell overseas.

It's simple - you don't send out your goods until the buyer has paid, and the money is sitting safely in your bank account - this is a no-brainer as far as international sales are concerned - I would only get worried if a buyer expected you to send your item before payment has cleared.

So make it clear in your listing that item will not be sent until payment has been received and banked - how is this difficult...?

I wouldn't have half the stuff I have if all eBayers were as cautious as you guys.
No money received for goods= No send the goods = Easy.:D
