As an international purchaser I could understand some resistance to sell to an overseas buyer with all of the fraudulent activity around these days. Regardless, I was (and always am) up front, open and honest. I explained my process regarding shipping and payments clearly.
This was all taken on board by Starmann, processed, and my new bass arrived five days later!
I am very impressed with the level and ease of communication, and would highly recommend any transaction with Starmann!!
