| How do I ship a game overseas? |

Howdy- n00b shipping question follows. I have a Swiss buyer interested in my Spy Hunter. I've never shipped a game to the next state, let alone the next continent. Can somebody recommend a company/procedure/whatnot? I guess I need to get it on a pallet & wrapped & strapped to a pallet & have the shipping co. come get it. (as I don't have a vehicle big enough to deliver it). Any concerns I should have if I'm being paid up front via PayPal for all expenses? Thanks! -Jason |

hmm... If you do it, as soon as you get the money in your PayPal acct, remove it. That way they can't 'freeze' your funds if the buyer decides to stiff you. |

Good point. Actually, I still got stiffed once on a Paypal payment to me. I withdrew the money, got it into my acct, shipped the item, & *then* PP did a pay reversal because they had an outdated bank account set up to fund the transaction. Fortunately, it was an honest mistake & the buyer remedied it shortly. However, I'd be afraid of this happening again and not getting resolved. Perhaps there's a "waiting period" after which I successfully withdraw my PP funds into my acct & know that PP won't reverse the charges & take the $ back...? -Jason |

i would suggest you get the buyer to deal with all the shipping details if he wants the machine so badly |

Thanks for all your help--luck was on my side. Got a local buyer who contacted me this morn, came this eve w/ full-price cash. No need to ship now! :] -Jason |
