I urge everyone that takes money via Paypal to do this.

So I am setting up another Paypal account for reasons completely unrelated to your suggestion, but I've learned that it won't let me associate a bank account with multiple Paypal accounts. That's kind of a pain.

It's pretty safe to sell stuff to the civilised countries. Just make sure you use registered post or whatever. I buy stacks of stuff from the US and UK. You really are missing out on a big slice of the market by not doing it...

I would never ship to The Netherlands. Those stinking Dutchies can't be trusted, especially if they have an excellent E-bay track record.

When I first got started in EBAY, I sold a model airplane remote to South Korea. It got paid for and I shipped it. I'm not sure what happened to it, or what it was used for.
Not sure I want to know.

I sold a video card on Ebay for ~$280 about 6 or 7 years ago. I shipped it overseas. 59 or 89 days later (I forget which, but at any rate it was the day before the last day on which the credit card charge could be disputed) the charges were reversed under the pretense that the charge was not authorized (i.e. identity theft) and Paypal took the money back. Of course I never saw the video card again. That was a slap in the face.
The timing of the chargeback always led me to believe that the legitimate credit card holder was in on the scam, but that's all academic. Whether it was identity theft or some other type of credit card fraud, the consequences to me were the same. I've used US-only auctions ever since.
