I used to sell a lot of slot machine books on eBay, and shipped to the UK, France, Netherlands, and Canada.

I stopped international sales because they were a pain in the butt. And, like the advice I gave to Von the other day, I will never again, under any circumstances sell to France.

However, Canada and the Netherlands can also be a problem with delivery speed. Thankfully, I've never had a problem to or from the UK or Ireland.

That said, I just stopped selling internationally. While it limits my market to only 300 million people, delivery confirmation, for less than a buck, goes on all but the least expensive packages. Insurance, great, but it still gets delivery confirmation. I just don't need the aggrevation. PayPal will always accept a delivery confirmation number on a claim.
