Denmark shipping scam????

Is anyone aware of any scams presently operating in eBay regarding shipping to Denmark??

I generally will only sell within the UK so that I can send everything recorded delivery and am wary of selling worldwide because of scammers. Just recently virtually every item I list I receive a question asking if I am interested in or how much to ship to Denmark. The questions have come from different users each time but it's always Denmark!

Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious, none of those who have asked the question has gone on to bid but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this?? :confused:

    There is just as many scammers in UK as in europe. I think your cutting off a lucretive market.

    Not heard of any scams in denmark

    Maybe the price you quote for shipping to Denmark makes the item too expensive.

    Don't get me wrong I'm not saying there aren't, just raised a suspicion in my mind that maybe there's more to it than coincidence!
    Also the current item in question is a Wii game and without looking into it I don't know if it works in other countries or not so have listed it as UK only.

    I'm not saying I am bothered they haven't bid, all the items have sold anyway, was just wondering if it's more than just coincidence. I only quote the amount I will be charged for p&p & don't add anything on top but I insist on a trackable service.

    As it is a Uk game will work over there, it could be a case of that game is hard to find or overpriced in denmark.
