Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only

I am in Australia and find many things I would like to buy but mostly people will only ship to US or Canada.Is it very complicated to ship overseas? If I were to pay for some speakers and their shipping by bank transfer could the seller simply take the boxes to his local Fedex or the like or is it more complex than that.I am aware that there are some Paypal scams happening from the far east but if I were to deposit funds directly into the sellers bank account would this not make the transaction foolproof and risk free for them

I have several things up for sale right now and I always check the USA only box. Not sure why, but if somebody from outside the U.S. were to inquire and the buyer seemed legit, and was willing to pay the shipping, I probably wouldn't hesitate to make the transaction.

You would think so.
I just sold an amp on e-bay to an overseas buyer. When he found it would cost 250 US to ship he backed out and left me stuck.

I have sold a couple of things to overseas buyers. These were just cables and light enexpensive dig. gear (AA) I was never the money; just ther risk of damage and the buyer 1/2 way on the other side of the world. Many things are a risk just going coast to coast. Those I prefer to sell--or buy--- local.
