buying or selling outside the USA

[Ken Robb]

I suppose it varies depending on the countries involved and USA to Canada or vice versa would be more likely than inter-continental deals. I read in an earlier post that USPS to Canada is quite good and rarely causes Canadian authorities to try for duties/taxes on small items but frames and bikes are not so easy.

I haven't used Pay-Pal for years since my account was hacked and drained. Would I be correct in guessing that PP adjusts charges/credits to account for exchange rates? Another forumite and I were working on a sale from me to him in Canada but the deal was more trouble than it was worth. He didn't want the hassle of getting a check for me in US Dollars and I didn't want to take the hit of converting a check in Loonies to US Bucks at my bank.

Is there an easy way to do this?
