Quite a number of US purchasers have ignored the fact that the stated postage for items is for the UK only, despite it being clearly stated several times that additional charges have apply for overseas shipping - I had one person send me some US coins to cover the additional postage! Then there was the guy who refused to pay for an M2 because it was too expensive!!! With South-East Asia the problem was mainly non-payers, although there was also one buyer who bought an LP and insisted that it be sent surface mail to save a pound or so. When it arrived six weeks or so later it was damaged, I took the hit for that and refunded the buyer. However, most of my experiences (over 95%) have been positive, and I've been very happy with what I've bought and sold - a 50mm Summicron for my R8/Canon 5D for just over 100 GBP for example.
