[Elecraft] Private Sales of used Elecraft Rigs

[Rose]

Payment certainly isn't a problem with PayPal, but
without a PayPal account it can be problematic.
Foreign ... to the US ... money orders or even bank
checks are extremely difficult to process.  For example,
a check drawn on a Panama bank would have cost
$75 to deposit into her account.

It's also likely related to a general lack of knowledge
about overseas packaging and how to fill out the
customs forms.  The blanks on the forms are small 
and difficult to write in.  There are two forms to be
used, depending on the size of the package and a 
few other variables. 

I do the shipping for Rose and she receives orders
from all over the world, so I've become reasonably 
familiar with the procedure, but it's still a "task".

The average transit time seems to be from two to as 
much as four weeks.  Israel is the exception. It can take 
several months for a package to be delivered there.

Probably more than you wanted to know ...
