I listed our internet security camera on ebay and it sold today. To someone in the Netherlands. I clearly state that I only ship to US addresses when I put stuff up for sale. Know why? Because it is expensive and a pain in my ass to ship internationally.
I’ve corresponded with the buyer and he says most people don’t pay any attention to how they list and that “people” in Germany ship to him all the time. Let me tell you, pal, the distance between Germany and the Netherlands is like me throwing a rock across the street. For real, what does it take 2 hours to drive between those two countries? Depending on the direction I take, I can honestly say that I haven’t left my state’s borders in 2 or 3 hours. I can drive for 5 1/2 hours on the highway before I leave my state. We’re talking BIG HUGE scale here.
And, furthermore, the argument that most people don’t pay attention to how they list is a load of crap. Maybe mothers in the Netherlands don’t ever use the phrase “If your friends are jumping off a bridge, you wouldn’t do it too.”
