Naw, that's one of eBay's strong points. Lots of ex-US business from int'l people willing to sell to others internationally. Or just breaking tariffs/barriers/price discrimination/parallel imports.

I just never understood most American seller's resistance to selling internationally, but worked out in my favour as a seller. I just charged a bit more than cost for shipping and it made up for any losses + inventory moved faster.
