Is shipping to Australia a scam?

Question

Ive heard many rumors about shipping to nigeria being a scam. And i am selling a clarinet to a lady in australia through USPS......is it a scam?

Answer 1

Did you sell the item on ebay or another website on the internet? How was it paid for? If you have the cash, and it was sent and verified, I'd say it's safe to ship it off to Australia. I don't see why it should be linked to the Nigeria scams.

If you've been paid, and you can access the cash without problem, I'd ship it off to her.
