Couple of things:
I have bought several items from forum members, companies and eBay sellers in the US, all without a hitch. USPS First class and Priority mail were the methods used. Both were fine - 1st class is usually faster than domestic mail for us in Australia! They're also cost effective for us in Aus. One 1kg lens in bubble wrap and box shipped to me usually costs around $35-40. Couldn't give USPS any higher praises for their service to Australia. Canada postage to Australia is on the other hand much more costly - I've been quoted $90 for a <1.5kg lens.
On PayPal accounts, I have a verified account being in Australia with a confirmed Australian address linked to a confirmed bank account. This should give any seller the confidence to accept funds knowing there is PayPal protection for both parties should anything go awry.
While I understand there are countries to avoid posting to for various reasons, the majority of us are in countries which have good track records for shipping to and from the US.
