I got an ask the seller a question this morning and I'm tempted to not answer it. First they want to know about getting a discount for buying more than one item. Not. Second, they want to know what it costs to ship to Malaysia.
Anyone ever ship there? Isn't it on the list of don't ship tos? It doesn't matter because what he wants to buy is clearly marked USA only.
Should I answer or ignore this email?

AMZN no longer accepts credit card from Malaysia,but it does not hurt to find out how he is going to pay you.

MY bank told me that the only way they can accept a payment from nigeria indonesia malaysia is a bank cheque drawn thru an american bank in america and the customer must pay this with cash american dollars only. they will no longer accept any form of electronic payment from those countries.
if your the least bit suspicious put them on your blocked bidder list.

Either US currency cash well concealed and properly sealed sent regular Airmail (if it's a small amount), or a US bank check or draft drawn on a US bank for larger amounts. Our Malaysian customers don't have a problem with it, and there are good banks in major cities.

Cheryl...You can set your preferences to automatically block bids from countries you don't ship to. This will prevent him from sniping at the end after you tell him U.S. bidders only. You can always add foreign bidders to your exempt list on a case by case basis.
