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.
