    I have shipped to Thailand, but it is right to be very cautious and do all the usual checks about the buyer before you open up your seller options to allow a bid. Also, it is unlikely that any paypal account they have will be confirmed so take that into account as well.

    As for costs, try the royal mail website as that gives rates for all destinations. One thing to remember though that just in case it is a mobile phone as RM do not cover phones, however ships for more than £32.

    Soo

    I personally wouldnt - but if you want to insist on paypal, cheque can be reclaimed anything up to 3 months after they cleared in your account (my dad found out to his detriment when he sold a car)

  • Unless it's a particularly valuable item, I probably would if the buyer has plenty of good (and evidently genuine) feedback.
