I agree, starting a flame war is not a good idea. I only wanted to air my surprise and frustration. This is not the first unfriendly response I have had when asking to send outside the USA.

Can anyone from the USA please fill me in what the big deal is? I send my ebay items worldwide all the time. Even receive a fair amount of items.

Btw, this has not always been like this which makes me think something has changed.
