Hi,

I sold some gear overseas. One UPS shipped overseas, but the buyer had an account, so it was easy. I wouldn't ship overseas unless the buyer has a UPS account. He paid with a bank draft. I made 1% in the currency exchange, but my bank charged me 1%. You just as easily could lose a small percent in the currency exchange. I just sold another rig to an ON4. He had it shipped to an airport in FL where he had made arrangements for the shipping. In this case, he paid by Pay Pal, who charged 4%, which is their standard charge whether the customer is overseas of not.

73,

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm hoping someone here has experience

I've listed my 2m all-mode ICOM on ebay, and I'm getting a lot of
interest from overseas - guys from both the UK and Ukraine have expressed
interest.  Have any of you done sales and shipment of equipment to EU
countries, and, if so, can you forward me any suggestions for payment and
shipment?  So far, both people appear to be legitimate and well-rated
bidders, but I know nothing of the intricacies of international trade!
(Answers to my email addr please, as I don't want to tie up the reflector
with this topic.)  Many thanks in advance.  I forgot how much interest
there is in EU for VHF.
