I would like to caution against using eBay’s global shipping programme because it isn’t as reliable as they say it is and it usually costs more than other shipping options.

I think when a post has “CONUS only” they mean they only sell to people in the US. It doesn’t mean they won’t buy from someone outside of the US. I’ve purchased throws from the UK and the Middle East before and have no complaints (besides shipping taking so long; I WANT THEM NOW!!!). You’ll probably take a hit on your return b/c of shipping. It might ruin a sale if you sell the yo-yo at fair market value AND ask the buyer to pay for shipping. But with the throws I purchased shipping was included. As long as your throws + shipping are reasonably priced (covering or splitting shipping), then you should be fine. Ebay sucks for sellers, I hear.

I would like to exorcise the scary of international shipping, while doesnt worth for pay it forward (totally agree), it worth for normal bst.  
Usually the cost of a shipping Usa to Europe is 18$ and arrive in around a week and a half.  
Did so many trades and never had an issue, everything perfect all the time, in time and also without pay fees.  
It is safe and easy!
