I'm mainly complaining about the American world view of everyone on the internet being other Americans within the borders of the United States. Take eBay for instance, with the majority of American sellers flat out refusing to ship internationally, even to western Europe.
I get that they don't want to sell me yellowcake, but I don't see the harm in sending me a few obsolete computers from the 1980s.
- floren 9y agoThey refuse because it's a pain in the ass to ship internationally and there are probably plenty of buyers in the US.
- M_Bakhtiari 9y agoWherein lies the pain of shipping internationally from the US? Whenever I've shipped stuff, whether through the regular postal system or the big name couriers, they don't seem to care where in the world the recipient is, other than that different places call for different rates, which I suppose is fair. And eBay accounts for this too.
