I will throw my 2 cents in on this, in regards to a purchase (non lego,
it was a set of MSDN cds) from ebay. I bidded on it and then after I had
bidI noticed the fine print: wont ship out of us. I emailed the guy
saying that I had bid and then noticed the wont ship out of us bit,
offered to pay whatever the shipping was. I won the auction, and send a
us$ money order to the guy. He recieved it (it took a while but it got
there) and then sent me the package, he had to send it lower class
shipping than origonally planed (underestimating cost of shipping) but
it got here. I restate what I said in an earlier message, that if you
can get a money order in the local currency and you offer to pay for
shipping at whatever the cost of that is then you should be able to
convince sellers to ship to you, unless they have a specific wish
otherwise.
