In due respect, but Americans never cease to amaze me when it comes to selling beyond their own borders.
Many of our competitors only ship within the USA, which is a great promotional tool for us and drives quite a bit of traffic our way.
Actually, under our buying accounts, I love to snipe USA only auctions as I invariably get a good deal, especially these days with the American consumer showing buying restraint.
A full 97% of our business is for sales outside of our country (Canada), whereas outside of North America accounts for over 50%.
More INR's and lower DSR's are utter myths. We have a FB score of 5,000, 100% satisfaction and DSR's of 5.0/5.0/4.9/4.9.
Whoever does not sell internationally misses out on at least 95% sales potential. Fair enough if one chooses that route; just don't complain that "business is bad" because I have no sympathy for such
