When you buy stuff on ebay, do you only buy stuff from your country or are you willing to buy stuff elsewhere? I have noticed that things in china or japan are a lot cheaper but they take a month and a half to arrive. I would rather spend the extra few dollars from someone who has it in the US and it arrive in a week.

 

If it's not a huge amount of difference in money, I'll go with something closer. If it's a huge amount of time and I need it soon, I'll pay more, but I usually don't order things like that.

 

For a lot of stuff, it's all coming from China anyway but if someone has it in stock in the USA I'm happy to spend an extra $ to get it a month sooner. Usually.

 

I've ordered plenty of things abroad. Italy, Bahamas, China... all no problem as long as the feedback rating was around 99%-100%. I just used paypal for the monetary conversion, which does it automatically.
