Shutting out the world, shame really
I will put two pieces of cardboard in the package so as to insure that there is no bending.

All costs should be bourne by the buyer, and if the buyer argues about that, then they're an asshole plain and simple. Sellers need to be firm with buyers, and in my experience of eBay (which is pretty extensive) most of the American sellers I come accross that don't ship outside of the US, don't do so because they fear everyone beyond the US border will steal from them, regardless of the protection offered by Paypal and the amount of good feedback the buyer has.So in my opinion, it is a combination of good old fashioned belief that the world stops at the US coastline, and the many asshole buyers who refuse to pick up the full cost of shipping in a safe and secure manner abroad.Both are problems which appear to be a result of poor intelligence on the part of buyer/seller, so when you come accross a seller who won't ship abroad, or a buyer who asks you to remove tracking, you can make instant assessments af their relative intelligence level and background.

As long as you stick to names you recognise you are more often than not ok. Even if the odd one goes missing then the extra money gained from worldwide auctions more than makes up for it.
