Honestly if you want to protect yourself there is no way cheap to send stuff to europe. I use to sell stuff all the time there but after way to many paypal claims of not getting parts and oddly enough the people not responding me asking whats going on and of course Im sure they got the part and their money back. Conclusion most people in europe know if shipped us mail their is no proof they ever got it. What does that mean for you if you get an asshat kiss your pedlas and cash away. Sell to some one in the states.

I've had a couple international people just send me cash before. No money order bullshit and NO PAYPAL, just tell them to triple wrap it because some postal workers will open it if they know cash is inside.

Except for Canada, I haven't had any bad dealings with them so I will keep letting them use paypal until someone tries to screw me.

Canadians for me have been the worse. They think becuase were close makes customs work faster :1. I just gave up on international stuff which kinda sucked since that was how I made most of my sales back in the day. Before bre came out I got my hands on some euro pwo programs which I was selling over there for a pretty penny like 100 a chip since I was like the only dude who had anything for the euro pwo ecu since its an odd ball ecu like all the euro spec ecu stuff. Even better one guy dynoed his car with the stock program and then with mine and gained 7 whp so I had the joys of a dyno and the works


That and slangin tps' got a college degree without ever getting a student loan :y. Plus engine swaps on the side.

lmao, just make sure if you ship it to 1. mark the declared value as low as possible cause customs fees are a bitch, or 2. let the person know customs fees are going to be a bitch.. ;)

eBay if full of idiots. This lady once took 3 weeks to send a payment then sent a personal check when it specifically stated Paypal or money orders only :S

I'm glad that I can cancel bids, I usually try to be around when the auction ends incase any idiots try to sneak in, especially with zero feedback.
