We see a bit of the same in Europe.
I sometimes attempt to buy things from eBay Germany. Many selles say "will
ship to Germany only". When I then enquire about shipping to Denmark (for
those who dont know: both countries are in the EU and hence no custom
things, importdeclarations etc. are needed, just some extra P & P), some say
"no problem", others say "no thank you" and still some others dont
bother to
replay at all. And of course I tell them that postage, bank transfer costs,
etc. will be paid.
