have any of you ever shipped overseas? i have had a request to send a card to germany and i was curious if there are any "gotchas" to be concerned with?


Thanks,

    I see a lot of eBay bidders who will not sell to Germany or Italy except by very expensive tracked shipping methods (e.g DHL) due to sticky fingers in customs. I guess it depends on the value of the item you are dealing with. If it's a $10 card, go for it; if it's a $500 card, caveat vendor.

    I agree w/ the above.... but if it is a decent $ item... as usual have the buyer pay for shipping -whether it be USPostal to Maine or DHL/UPS/FedEx overseas...just cover your butt doing it.
