Drawbacks from selling overseas ?


I searched the forum engine and couldn't find much info on this, but occasionally when I'm selling something,I'll put in U.S. only in the ad. I still get an occasional e-mail from somewhere else in the world( today from a gentleman in Seoul, Korea ) requesting to buy anyway. Let's say I don't get any reasonable offers within a certain time frame and this guy in Korea is still willing to pay the full amount.What are the drawbacks for me the seller ? Is there a safe and protected form of payment from the buyer ? I would like to hear some recommendations and/or experiences. Thanks.

Albert, your open, generous and unchauvinistic attitude is to be commended, I find. Audiophiles are a worldwide comunity, bonded by a common passion. I fully agree with the requirements you mention in your post. If that is settled, all goes well. Sound of course is Unsound's point about bad eggs. In case of dispute things get more difficult. I've been burnt twice, doing deals with Ex-Audiogoners in the US and being at home in good old Europe, there was nothing I could do about it. This is true of course also geographically the other way around. Cheers,
