Tony, glad to hear this. More pleasant responses regarding these transactions would certainly get me to reconsider my stance.
At one point I bought into the idea that the extra international bids would drive my prices up and thus negate the negatives of extra shipping costs, increased angst, locked up funds and negative feedback due to impatience. But the increased angst was ultimately what killed it - it just wasn't fun dealing with those 1-2 bad apples per year. At that time, on ebay I was only allowing U.S. and Canada - not other countries. I dealt with other countries non-ebay - no problems.
For the most part, it still simply comes down to how ebay handles things - non-ebay, most anything can be worked out.
