i've only done it to assist the person overseas. on a number of occasions, VFers asked me to purchase something on the net and mail it to them. usually something where the vendor didn't ship overseas.
as an ebay seller, i have a policy where i don't mail overseas simply because tracking fees are so expensive, and i want the tracking option. but i have purchased many things from overseas as an ebay buyer - mostly small things like Barbie shoes and bracelet charms!
