[Milsurplus] Problems with eBay and International

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I have shipped LS-3's and various parts and subassemblies all over and so 
far (knock on wood) have had no trouble.  However, I do NOT let eBay handle 
the shipping.  I use USPS, choose "Other" and enter something like Old Parts 
or Books, or similar, and use item descriptions like Protector, PTT Switch, 
BC-611-C CZE, or Loudspeaker LS-3, or Switch, Vacuum, NT-24163, etc.  I've 
never had any inclination to use the word "Military" in the description.  And 
can't understand why anyone ever would.  The original using arm certainly 
didn't.
