Back when I sold my 951 in 2008, I ended up selling some items I had left behind in the garage on eBay. To simplify things for myself, I charged flat shipping and only shipped in the lower 48, no exceptions.

One guy in Germany kept bidding (and winning) on a $7 item with a $3 shipping fee. It was going to cost me $35 to ship it to Germany. I kept cancelling his bids, sending him a note that I wouldn't ship to Germany, and he'd turn around and rebid within minutes. I ended up blocking him from my auction and he sent me a profanity-laced message.

One guy, who was a member on Pelican at the time, filed a dispute because I charged him $15 for shipping (flat rate, remember?) and it only cost me $14.93 to ship the item. That pissed me off but I refunded him his 7¢ because it wasn't worth my time to take it any further.
