As a former photo seller with many non-American customers, I can say I never had any cases of dishonesty or scamming with foreign customers or sellers. In part, because I'd always check their feedback and what they sell/buy, and you can quickly identify a serious photo collector and knowledgeable seller. All my scamming and dishonesty cases have been with Americans, though that's largely a numbers game.
I think I had one case of duties, and that was on a large package. I also have friends in foreign countries who give me advice on what I can and cannot send them to avoid them paying duties. A small baseball card or even a photo would not "set off the trigger."
