I don't buy and sell on line as much as I did a few years back. Most of my dealings were with people in the U.S. and Japan, but I had some successful transactions with people in Europe, Israel, Mexico and South America. Probably unfair to paint an entire continent, but I would block Africa from my eBay listings because of some weird communications that came out of Nigeria (in my defense, at the time at least eBay only let you block all of Africa and not individual countries).
The most troublesome international deal I ever did was with an apparently eccentric person out of Canada. His auction was open to the U.S. so I bid and won. But then he did not want paypal, a cashiers check, or credit card. Rather he wanted me to send money via a bank transfer. I took an hour off of work, did a bunch of paper work, followed up and verified the payment went through only to have the guy send me a bunch of angry e mails complaining about some fee HIS bank added on the back end of the transaction. The transactions with Israel were a walk in the park by comparison. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
