I have a bike on auction right now on eBay and I have stipulated in the description that I will ship only to continental US. I have been getting a lot of interest in the bike and I received a question from a person in Japan asking me to allow him to bid. He indicated he would immediately pay with PayPal at the end of the auction. He is a somewhat active eBayer since August 2006 with very good feedback (99.3%, 2 negatives in last 12 months) on 181 transactions, but his feedback detail is private and can't be seen. What are the risks selling to foreign countries, and how complicated would that make the packing and shipping? How expensive would the shipping and packing be? I have no experience with this. I didn't want to do foreign countries, but if it will increase the price, I think I might consider it. Another question, if I allowed him to bid, do I need to announce in my description that foreigners are welcome because, if he wins, could someone protest on the grounds I said continental US only. Maybe I just need to keep it simple and stick with my original plan. Thanks for your help and comments!
