eBay

Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?

I'm wanting to sell a console game, which was on a very limited release in Europe only (goes for about £35-£50 second hand) on account of it being utterly shit. However when they released the game they didn't put a region lock on it so it will work in any console in any country. Like a region free DVD.

So I want to put it on eBay and sell it outside Europe. You can send international signed for I know that, but is it going to be a massive pain in the arse for me? Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this, because the copies of it I've seen are only EU postage only. Also are there any countries I should specifically not post to? (I'm avoiding Africa altogether).

Aren't games released in different PAL/NTSC versions for Europe/USA?

(As a nice chap in Virginia reminded me when I was trying to buy playstation games Blush. Though that was a few years ago.)
