I'm fed up with this on ebay/brickbay.
What is it with you people ? Is your postal service that unsafe ?
Or are just (backward) children in a play-pen? Duh !
Grow up. You're not that fr*%^n central to the cosmos.
Each time I see 'Will ship to United States only'' ...

| (...) I can explain one of the main reasons quite clearly. The small (low single digit) percentage of my former sales to international customers did not justify the huge amount of time and effort it took to ship things to them. Am I losing sales by (...)

| I find it annoying as well. And even if I ask nice enough, most people will send me something, because I am in Canada. It seems most people are worried about overseas selling. I think that is understandable. I have not and most likely will no (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people)

| This isn't a reply to Ronan as much as to the thread in general. I've never restricted any of my sales or auctions to the US only, but I can certainly see why one would want to.
