What are shipping rates if I have to ship it to hungary from california? Anything I need to pay as customs or duties? Also what kind of protection I have as a seller if anything goes wrong in the transaction?
I might as well ask these questions to ebay, but want to know if any of you have done this kind of thing and what was your experience.
Thanks.

Gekko -- I'd definitely avoid shipping a laptop overseas. There are different electrical requirements and adapters would have to be used.
Aside from the Customs and duties that may be assessed, what happens if something goes wrong with the laptop itself or "claimed" to go wrong?
