paypal postage and Brazil

I am still selling like crazy to Brazil and paypal is getting annoying as it will not let me print postage through them.
Is it just me or does paypal not like Brazil?
Is Brazil or a big buying country, or again is it just me as they are buying all sorts of stuff from me, not just in a particular category- but everything, very odd.

I managed to use Paypal postage for two parcels to Brazil recently. I've found you have to make sure there are no non-English characters on the address otherwise it won't go through.
It's the first time I've ever posted there, so it was weird to have two separate lots. I was nervous as one went for way more than expected, but it got there fairly quickly and the buyer was very happy."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

I'm wondering if eBay have had an advertising campaign in Brazil, it seems odd to have so many all at once never having had one before.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Soolin, not Olympic or sport related stuff is it? That might have drawn Brazilian interest."The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

Nope, nothing at all to do with the Olympics.

Be aware of Brazilian customs. There are huge delays for items getting into the country. An item I sold took 4 months to reach it's destination.
From Ebay announcements on June 27th:
"In recent weeks, an ongoing customs operation has resulted in longer-than-usual delivery times for imports entering Brazil. We’re contacting both buyers and sellers who may be affected to let them know. If you are involved in an eBay international transaction in this region, please be patient, both throughout the transaction and when providing feedback once your item arrives.
Sellers: to ensure your items pass through customs as quickly as possible, follow these best practices for handling international shipping and customs.

Oh dear, I've got feedback from some of the earlier buyers already but have sent a lot more since.

My first Brazilian sale took place the same week this announcement came out. I was a bit worried, but it got there very quickly."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0
