What I said was correct, but I got the situation in reverse ... I'll start at the beginning and go backwards. I buy early Hollywood photos, many which were internationally issued and now sold, and the folks abroad definitely love the $US. They must figure it won't devalue while in the envelope. I suspect that they want the money off the books, as they pay some big fee otherwise. Anyone who's shipped often to Canada knows the old refrain, "Say it's just papers. Tell the post office it's worth nothing."

I'm always especialy picky when buying from a forgeign seller (feedback, see the payment requirements), and have not had any troubles buying from international sellers. Some, especially established sellers, do accept personal checks.
