The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Seems to me that there is already a process in place.

For stuff on eBay going from the US to elsewhere, the things on offer from the US, appear on foreign eBay sites with tariffs and international shipping already added in to the price. I ship to an eBay crossdock in the US. eBay handles all the international shipping, tariffs, and export documentation. I have wondered what the guy in France actually paid for my bundle of US market Renault brochures.

I would not be surprised if eBay already has a system in place in other countries, for shipment to the US. If they do, then the process will be a snap for their buyers and sellers, but expensive.

The parties that will be hurt are the companies and people who try to buy and sell internationally, on their own.
