american sellers....beware!!  if you opt to sell internationally and there is a problem, guess what??  you do not have US ebay at your back helping you.  i decided to give international buyers a shot after ebay's lobbying efforts about upping sales.  i sold an item to a german man may 11.  mailed the item may 12.  june 15th he asks if it was sent.  i provided the pertinent information.  today i got an "item not received".  ok.  i can handle that.  but wait!!!!  i have to go to ebay germany!!  everything is in german!!  i called ebay for help.  the customer service guy, jason, said i should have kown that.  huh??  i'm to go and use a google translator.  am i dense for imagining that if there was a issue it would be done in english, here i the states?  according to him i was. 

my point is, to him and to ebay, if you want american sellers to sell internationaly, there should be a disclaimer about the consequences; that the US ebay would not be available.  i'm making time to alert other ebayers.  hope this helps.
