Men who feel strong in the justice of their cause, or confident in their powers, do not waste breath in childish boasts of their own superiority and querulous depreciation of their antagonists.

I read this blog on a regular basis, and it's typically good advice.

Then I read this entry... now, I sell a buttload of stuff on ebay, so while I agreed with almost all of his points... he made one that I totally have to call him on.

International bidders account for at least 30% of my sales, I've never had a problem yet. Yeah it's a minor hassle when dealing with customs paperwork, but Ebay/PayPal makes that really easy too.

(ironically, I have had a few problems when making my own international bids, but never selling, yet...)

I admit that this is more a personal preference than anything. Many people swear by international sales, and I shouldnt have included that as a class for discrimination. For me, theyre a pain, but the reality is that if somebody e-mails me and asks me to sell to them in Canada or Norway or Indonesia, I always do.
