It would probably be easier to post "Prefer to buy/sell/trade in [area]" when you want to specify that. International shipping is possible, ya know. ;) :P

it is but sending out of australia is absolutely hopelessly expensive,
and sending to australia varies heaps aswell.
And a lot of users arent too keen on international shipping

Surely benheck is spread out enough now to support this?

i would say 50% of our userbase is based in the US, possibly a little more, with the rest being mostly canada and the UK

Unless it's something huge, shipping isn't too bad, unless it's sent priority or express mail.

shipping from us i found to be reasonable,
shipping to US is either Sea mail, which take s2-3 months
or $50 for 7 kg and up cheapest air

also, the easiest way to make your postings region specific is to put where you are located in your title eg "n64 portable for sale (AUS)" or "wtb PSone lcd (UK)" which is pretty simple and straightforward in my book.

Because physical shipping boundaries aren't the same as video formats?
