I am in the process of selling a camera on ebay with the shipping being determined by ebay. I have several bids so far. Someone from New Zealand asked me if I would sell it to him. Assuming it's not worth the hassle however I figured I would ask here what everyone thought.

Thank you!
Why shouldn't you?  What's a difference if you sell it to someone in USA or somewhere else,  I have just sold something to someone in Peru without any hassle

If it's below $2000 it shouldn't be a problem with customs,  however tracking isn't available in another country that's a problem you are right.

Just got email from Ebay with $10 off $75 coupon (to only one of my emails). These offers always say non transferrable, is that real?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Credit card purchase protection covers used? EBay protection should cover you.

Carefully read the description (check for loopholes). If everything seems okay, it should be safe to buy. Ebay is well known to be a buyer's best friend. They'll side with you on any dispute, especially considering the fact that the seller has no feedback.

If I buy something on ebay through American Airlines portal does that count as activities and extend the life of my American Airlines miles?

On the last item I sold, Ebay gave me the money instantly, is that unusual?

Got another email from eBay saying they would give me a $100 bonus coupon for selling something $100 or more. They love giving out free money. I think I'm gonna burn an old $100 coupon on this one, effectively cashing it out (there's another way to cash them out, but it's a bit of a pain). They live signing up new sellers.

Im not 100% sure but I think you can also get 5ppd on ink at gyft

if its not time sensitive you should look for deals on giftcard reselling websites

depending where you live there are grocery stores that will have a 'gas points' deals on buying various giftcards

also note there is buying velocity limits on paypal digital gifts and on spending ebay giftcards
