[Boatanchors] eBay scam?

[J. Dave Mayfield]

John, you are close to being correct. Only thing wrong is that. If the 
item is damaged in transit. It is the person that sold and shipped the 
radio responsibility to get the shipping company to pay off on the 
insurance. The buyer can't do anything.

One way to get around all the headaches of shipping is to take the item 
to a shipping store, and have the buyer work with them on the shipping. 
This leaves the seller total out of the shipping picture. The seller 
just drops it off at the shipping store and walks away. I've done this 
many times..

Accept only US dollars and state up front that there will be no shipping until the method of payment has totally cleared your bank and that nothing will come back at you later.  State that there will be no returns for any reason and that damage occurring during shipping is between the buyer and the company handling shipping.  This is assuming that you have taken all proper packing precautions. Unless you can get references, sales overseas can be dangerous, even if the above is followed.
