How about trading parts?

That's why I do everything to accelerate... I work with a forwarder in Texas, so it's only shipping lower 48. I went to my bank and added on my credit card the US-address. I pay only via PayPal or credit card, so the payment will be safe.

If I offer something in Germany as " in stock" and don't ship within 3 days, shipment has to be paid by seller. If to many customers will report problems, officials will close the shop...

It's not only CI - even at ebay.com I allways get problems in US. Malaysia, Japan, Australia, EU, no problems. I sometimes feel screwed...

Problem: if I pay with PayPal I've 45 days for reklamation - but meanwhile some orders run for 40 days between ordering in US and delivery - without different forwarder. I lost some hundreds of dollars because of this...

But I feel better to hear that trading in the forum will be safe for normally...
