Since I am fairly new at this, I list my auctions as available just to U.S. buyers/shipping addresses.
I have someone from Germany interested in one of my current listings - she wants to know if I will ship to Germany. I told her I will find out the shipping cost today and get back to her.
My questions are this:
1. Is there anything special I need to know about shipping internationally? Any pitfalls? I know I will need to fill out a customs form.
2. Is USPS delivery confirmation available internationally? Or is there some other way to deliver, to cover my you-know-what?
3. If she uses paypal (which I would think is the case, rather than sending a money order), are there additional currency exchange fees in addition to the regular business account fees? I looked at Paypal's website and I think there are, but I wasn't 100% sure.
If there is anything else you can recommend, I appreciate it!

P.S. Everyone here has been so helpful with my eBay questions in the past - THANK YOU!
