Re: Could someone please explain loupe troop and diamond bis

Out of curiosity, do most of you avoid listings which aren't from the US?

Not if I "know" them. I learned early on that sending things abroad from my post office meant hours of work and typically repeated trips with conflicting answers given each time. So even though the majority of the time I felt comfortable with the buyer, the act of getting it to them was so cumbersome and time consuming that it didn't feel worth my while. Now depending upon where they are, I am likely to say no, unless they are a PSer with whom I've established a rapport.

I won't shy away from international buyers or sellers. I've sold to people in: England, France, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Singapore, China, etc.

I've had a few weirder buyers, but I've persevered. I've only cancelled one transaction before going through with it, although I probably shouldn't have gone through with a few. I much prefer LoupeTroop because it's mostly frequented by PSers.

My biggest complaints there are the lack of a search function, and the fact that a LOT of people just put "SOLD" in the title, instead of marking it sold through the system. So right now, LT is full of really old listings (since they don't expire) that are sold, but remain with the active listings. That part sucks.

I don't trust DB's listings. It's more frequented by another forum's users, and I've had good experiences with almost everyone there too, but the messaging system sucks way too often. So I do 100% of my selling on LT, and roam LT and DB equally every day.
