ebay policies can hurt international sales.

I haven't sold on ebay in a while but I sold some stuff to a guy in Australia. It took him over 3 months to get he stuff because the only affordable way to ship it was literally by ship. He was fine with the time and left me positive feedback even though his items were a long way from being delivered.

Since that time ebay changed a rule and now will not release the money from paypal until after the product is received if you have less than a certain rating. New sellers are kinda stuck waiting to get paid.

If I had to wait months to get paid I would have probably not sold them to the guy in Australia.

Ebay has made it more problem than profit for sellers so most people with good, rare or expensive car stuff quit using it.

I would bet that somebody on here might be glad to help buy and ship to you. Would it be cheaper? I don't know, but it may open doors to parts you can't currently get.
