Just a note about that LUCID requirement thing. I didn't want to bother with more forms etc, so I clicked up every one of my ads and took Germany out of the Global Shipping choices. THEN a week later when Ebay switched me over to the "new improved" listing format they PUT GERMANY back in every ad as a Global Shipping choice. I can find no way to remove Germany so I've just dropped Global Shipping as an option. I don't have a lot of overseas sales... but now those few are gone.
