Paypal is pretty useful but I have heard that it is not a good idea to ship stuff out of the country if you have been payed with it because the buyer can claim he never received his stuff and get a full refund from your credit card.
Yeah, that happened to me when I sold an iPod accessory to a guy in France for $100. Even though I said in the ad that I wasn’t responsible for items shipped if insurance wasn’t purchased. All they had to do was “claim” they never received it. And PP refunded his money. Even though he was new with low feedback, and I’ve been a buyer/seller since 1998 and had a feedback score of 1,500+.
