This has been the case since long before eBay was a twinkle in anyone's eye.

And +1 what @noglider wrote. I wasn't aware of the higher percentage of bad transactions, but it comes as no surprise. That just piles on top of the fact that ordering from overseas complicates returns/refunds.
Exactly right. I never buy from overseas if I can avoid it. I have had bad luck with China on the few things I ordered from them. I always check the seller feedback. For one thing, there has to be feedback or I probably won't deal with them. If there is any bad feedback, I likely don't deal with them.
