BTW, My "no international shipping rule" has nothing to do with people or prejudice. I would gladly sell to almost anyone from almost any country if it was easy to ship to them. Indeed I've got a very short list of countries to which I will ship. However, I rarely find that I get accurate cost quotes online when checking international shipping costs. I go to the USPS.com (or some other shipping carrier's web page) get a quote, add a bit to it to make the hassle worth while, give that quote to the buyer, the buyer agrees and pays, I go to the shipping carrier and find it actually costs more, often a lot more, so I lose money on the shipping plus I have to stand in line filling out forms. So my "no international shipping rule" is not based on any prejudice, it is based on not wanting to lose money or have to hassle with the whole international shipping process. Basically, shipping internationally is a royal PITA.
