I think most people here fully understand how the insurance part works, and that there are extra costs for international shipping. As a seller, if a buyer is willing to pay the extra costs for customs, tax, whatever, then I'm comfortable making the sale and shipping international. But I also agree with you that buyers need to be reasonable and not expect the same shipping costs when buying outside of your home country. Insurance is not cheap, and IMHO, you should 'not' ship without it. That will leave one party out to dry if something goes south. And whoever is left with the empty bag, hopefully that was the person that agreed to take on the responsibility. It takes two people to be able to ship something. If an agreement can't be made, then no deal. Adios.Finally someone gets what I'm saying.
