In the last six or seven years, I have been into buying and selling antiques, mainly specialising in antique silver which is all sold through eBay, and I have sold loads of stuff abroad, even to China, Russia, Korea, as well as USA, Canada, Australasia and of course Europe, and I must say that all have been genuine buyers. I do use eBay's Global Shipping Program, as they handle all the customs etc. and once they have it, it is their responsibility, so when an item has gone missing, or got broken, it is covered by them, so I'm not the loser. I have had more messers selling modelling stuff in this country than anywhere else, having said that, I would be very suspicious of African countries, as their scamming activities are well known but would happily deal with a European or western buyer, providing you follow all the safety aspects of a sale.
I recently sold and sent some new, old stock Tex covering to a buyer in cypress, as he said, he couldn't get the stuff over in his country, so needed to buy for sources here, he paid the price including postage to Cypress, which was dearer than the roll covering, he paid a secure payment, and I shipped him the covering, so you never know, always worth following a sale lead up.
