Well, that's tricky. NTSC DVD's work in SOME UK dvd players. I have a Toshiba that will play American discs but NOT any sort of burned disc,
and I have a Sony that will quite happily play burned discs but refuses American ones.
And we have a cheap $40 supermarket player that does not seem to car what you put in it, it plays them all !
I am wary of sedning stuff to Russia, as I have one person claiming not to have received the item and another claiming there was a fault (which I knew there was not)
Ebay seems to side with the buyer in the majority of these types of instance however...
I've got a DVD player like that as well. Cost next to nothing, will play anything on a disc that you put in the tray. One of the best tech investments I ever made.
As for eBay, I do agree with you that they generally side with the buyer when you can't prove that an item has been delivered. One of the advantages to shipping only within the U.S. is that I can get Delivery Confirmation and upload the info to their site. So when you have a scamming buyer who claims they never received the package even though usps.com says it was delivered, the worst that'd happen is eBay would refund the money (from their own account, not the sellers account) as part of their 'buyer protection' policy.
The aforementioned attempted eBay scam from a well known TD fan/collector is another story however. He bought an item, subsequently asked me to violate something like three different eBay policies, and when I refused he then feigned ignorance about the contents of the purchased item (it'd be like someone here claiming to be surprised that Edgar Froese performed on a Tangerine Dream album and not wanting it because of that fact). So all of a sudden he then wants to cancel the purchase and subsequently left negative feedback because I wouldn't do what a "dedicated, die-hard fan" wanted. Despite my having messages from him where he was CLEARLY asking me to violate eBay policy (and proof of my refusing), they wouldn't remove the feedback because it was (and I'm quoting here) "his impression of the transaction". So one very selfish (and self-important) individual has literally ruined it for all the overseas fans who'd be interested in stuff like this.
