What type of trouble? I've bought and sold plenty of stuff with no problems.

I've sold something to Germany but it doesn't seem to acknowledge the global shipping program.
ie no uk address for forwarding just the German address.
I've sent plenty abroad before

It's where eBay charge the buyer a massive about of postage and the customs fees at the point of sale. Then the seller just posts it to a uk address ( or whichever country there in) they put another lable on then post it abroad.
It's just another eBay scam which to me seems pointless, you've got to go to the post office anyway why not just post it abroad?
You still have to put an address on the box why not put the final destination on and but the expensive middleman?

Is it cheaper than Royal Mail though. I just recently posted out a big car would have been £14 ish at the post office I took it in to check. Exact same service via eBay was £10 this is all uk related tho. So middlemen aint always more expensive
