[Elecraft] K1-2-Band-Module for sale on eBay...

[Don Wilhelm]

Petr,

I don't understand why some sellers insist on CONUS only.  I can 
understand if they do not want to fill out the customs forms, but that 
is not difficult.  The amount of insurance can be limited depending on 
which country the item is being shipped to, and that can be a factor for 
high value items.

Of course, many sellers do not seem to realize that shipping to Alaska, 
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico is the same as shipping to the continental US 
and so they specify "CONUS" when it is not necessary.

The other possibility is that they do not want to deal with payment from 
all over the world, but PayPal makes that seemless in most cases.

73,
Don W3FPR
