Shipping from US to other countries

Sorry for another shipping question, but this isn't a flame heh

For shipping things outside of the US, I know you can't send something through USPS to say, Germany, with DC. But how do you ship things in a small bubble mailer weighing 6 ounces or so, with a value of less than $50? I want to make every sale I can, but also want to be protected. And I don't want to charge the buyer $30 or whatever just to send an insured package.

Can anyone help with a solution or suggestion on how I can be protected and yet make the shipping affordable for the buyer? Or how to be protected through Paypal, at least.

    Believe it or not, I have sold dozens of items outside of the US and have never had a problem. If the buyer has good feeback, its usually ok. Most honest sellers are also honest buyers. I worry more about buyers inside the US then I do from other countries
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    Just First Class from USPS without any DC and let it fly? And yes, assuming they have good feedback.

    Can a seller request an international money order? Is there even such a thing? It's been so long that I've sold things out of the US that I don't even remember anymore.

    Take PayPal, its easiest.
    Like MT said, Ive never had a problem either.
    I have sold to a few countries, but mostly Japan and Canada. But I buy all the time from England Japan Germany etc. and have never had a problem except one time on a package that took 2 months to get here (Hawaii) from Venezuela.
