Does that $96 include tracking and signature on delivery? Sending to a 0 feedback buyer in Mexico, I wouldn't send it without those 2 things.

 

If you are inexperienced and plan on selling items that are a target for scammers, I suggest you limit to where you will send overseas. I would also consider blocking buyers who haven't gone through phone verification. Most scammers don't verify their accounts.

 

You can set buyer requirements blocks with this link. You can block buyers with 2 or more unpaid item strikes, buyers who live in a location you don't post to, buyers who haven't gone through phone verfication. It's a good idea to have these in place to protect yourself. http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BuyerBlockPreferences

 

To exclude certain countries, use this link http://cgi5.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ExcludeShippingList 

There are some countries you should block from sending to for any number of reasons. A higher incidence of scam buyers, corrupt main services, strict or delayed customs, just to name a few. If you list something like a phone, you will get buyers from African countries offering to buy it for more than you have listed it for. That can also happen with game consoles as well.

 

All sellers should have blocks in place to try and protect themselves.

There are quite a few countries that you can not get tracking for. From memory I think Mexico is one of those. Some of the countries without tracking still offer Signiture on delivery.

If a seller mails worldwide they need to accept that occasionally they will get stung. It still pays for the collectables & vintage car parts I sell, as international buyers regularly pay two or three times what Australian buyers will pay and most international buyers are no more trouble than Australian buyers.

It would take a fairly brave new ebayer to send an expensive game to a zero feedback buyer in Mexico though.
