Hi, I have done 9 overseas transactions. I was the "seller". I have used Paypal 4 times, Western Union wire transfer 2 x, and, with "friends" I have made globally bank to bank transfer several times. The largest shipment was an Audio Research tube amp to spain...400.00 to ship 110 lbs! take the time to actually talk to your perspective buyer, on the phone. Follow your "gut" instinct! If you have the slightest reservation,, get out! In conclusion, to date, no problems what so ever. Never use fedex to ship! they are the worst! If you would like more help, I would be happy to walk you through this. This is "Audiogon" not ebay, quality people here.........Scot
