eBay& PayPal Scam Countries

Hi,

What are the no-go locations for selling stuff via eBay and PayPal?

Is South Korea ok?

rssmsvc · Feb 24, 2008

I avoid Italy because of their postal system, I have shipped to Korea without a problem several times. I won't ship to Africa at all or South America.

I've shipped to South Korea about 6 or 7 times without a problem. I have also shipped to Brazil 5 or 6 times with no problem as well. I have never had to ship anything to Africa. Besides Canada, I have never had a problem with international shipping...

When you ship international, you have to go FedEx/UPS to get a tracking # right?

michaeljkrell · Feb 24, 2008

You can send it usps express and get a tracking/confirmation #...

Only Canada + UPS is screwy
USPS works fine.

Can't speak for the rest of the country, but I'm in South Korea and it's OK to ship to me!

i'm pretty wary of foreign deals in general

but when you're running bad...

I would avoid Africa and probably SE Asia, but nowadays it seems that Singapore is beginning to go legit. I've dealt with a scammer in Montreal, Canada before as well so the best way is to check out their fb and communicate with them.

I, too, have had problems shipping to Canada. The only times I've had packages go missing were when I shipped to Canada by Global Priority & not Global Express.

Recently, a number of South Korean bidders have asked me to send their stuff to an address in Los Angeles, which I understand is some sort of proxy service. The problem is, their accounts are in S. Korea, so when they to pay by Paypal, it invalidates the seller protection policy.

'scuse me!
I am quite legit, thank you very much!
And have always been!

**** ups. Notice location

lakewolf · Feb 25, 2008

I've sent many packages to Canada, even using standard postal service with no insurance or tracking number ( as requested by the buyer) and they allways got to their destination....

I've sent clothing and shoes and even once a computer to southamerica and it also was received well.
