Tom, Where did you get this idea? I ship close to two dozen international postal packages every year and they are all insurable, though the max value does vary by destination country. For most of EU its up to $200 and included in the shipping fee (Not an optional charge). Some countries wi

Your wrong,  priority mail packages have insurance,  the same flat rate price to Hawaii or any place in the USA. Plus if you wish insurance you just ask for it and you pay, I pay it all the time if I want extra coverage. Who in the world told you you cant insure a package in the USA ?? Hawaii a

Tom, You might want to change your designation from "CONUS" to "United States addresses". CONUS restricts it to the 'lower 48', and does not include Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Shipping to those states and US possessions is no different than shipping to your next door neighbor - at least

I occasionally sell on eBay and I have one simple reason for Conus only. Packages sent out of the US cannot be insured, at least through USPS, so if they are lost or damaged you have no recourse. Maybe that’s not true of private shippers I don’t know. As far as PayPal protection they almost always

If I'm not mistaken, PayPal payments are revocable -- they can be reversed. Recovering the item or getting your money is easier if you can do it under the same legal system -- if you don't have to deal with international law. Most of us have no desire to commit fraud, so it isn't an issue. T

Don, This is one of my biggest gripes. So many sellers (and not just hams) that will not ship to AK/HI or outside the US (48-states). I handle all international sales of preamps for (Pete-WA2ODO) since most want to use PayPal for its ease of currency exchange. I also handle any US sales th

Petr, I don't understand why some sellers insist on CONUS only. I can understand if they do not want to fill out the customs forms, but that is not difficult. The amount of insurance can be limited depending on which country the item is being shipped to, and that can be a factor for high va
