That would suck if you're selling a car or something that's usually locally sold.
I'm in the United States, I once sold a car (a 1972 Buick Electra) on ebay. Winning bidder wound up being in Germany. I was skeptical at first but he paid up-front, then sent a truck, which picked up the car and put it on a boat, transported it over, he wound up giving it a full frame-off restoration and she's now cruising the autobahn. He sent me back photos. Funny how that works out, he must've been pretty rich, however!
