Along the lines of smcd's query: About half of my auctions go overseas. I offer to take BidPay and Money Orders/Cashier's Checks drawn on U.S. banks, in addition to PayPal (which I think rules out the PayPal check-out) Right now if a winning bidder in, say, Hong Kong goes to my check-out, they get to the point where it says "there's a problem with shipping, so try back later".
I'd like to hear from sellers that are more expereienced than me as far as what's the slickest way to set up your Vendio shipping, WBN, etc. if you have quite a few overseas sales.

Hi Pony
I sell a lot to international customers too. I have a note in my auctions for international bidders to contact me with their address. I then go into the edit checkout and put their postage on one of the blank spaces for postage. I then e-mail them with the link to the checkout. Most will just pay and I have to fill in the checkout.
It is a hassle, but I don't know of any other way to handle it. I don't want to quit selling out of the country because I would lose to much.
