There is no tracking number for standard airmail packages. I had go through customer service nightmare just to get an email through to paypal which I have no idea if it ever got where it was supposed to go. Basically, if you do not have tracking, your f...ked. The crappy thing is that everything I send goes priority w/track in the u.s. no exceptions. Overseas goes global priority - so you get a track number. Problem is that boxed set stuff is too pricey so it goes reg. airmail - which is what my current problem is. Time to amend my shipping policy yet again. No packages go international. Just what I can get in a glob. priority.

I am back to considering a complete block of all international sales. Problem is that I am seeing much higher and frequent action from that side.I think that way sometimes too when I have to deal with a problem, BUT... to be honest some of my very favorite (and regular) bidders are international. It can be a bit of a hassle but I know that certain item bid prices go SKY HIGH from allowing international sales, plus it' fun corresponding with people all over the place.

If you can get insurance on an item going overseas you will at least have one leg to stand on since it is scanned when it crosses over to the next country. I havent had to use that in a claim yet but maybe that would be acceptable in a dispute (proof that it was sent at least).
