15 years ago I would eBay/ship overseas and the buyers, in many cases, knew that they would have to go down to customs to pay the tax.

That would be an impediment to a lot of people.

As best I could tell from the tracking information on the piece I sent to France: the mailing address I was given was the eBay crossdock in, iirc, Kentucky, with a reference number. Based on that reference number, eBay apparently put the piece in a container going to their crossdock in France, where a mailing label with the purchaser's address was added, and the piece then entered the French mail system. I should have asked the guy who bought it, to post a screen capture of how my listing looked, in France.
