Is this from private sellers or retail?
If retail, I can tell you that easily 1 in 4 orders we get online are fraudulent and using stolen credit-cards or hacked paypal accounts. Seriously at LEAST 1 in 4. So for any significant order particularly from certain countries we insist on a wire transfer the first time.
The good news is, for the most part, the criminals are not very sophisticated and our fraud detection system catches them....
