It turns out that the buyer is indeed in France, but he has a brother in
the U.S. So everything is all right.
It does seem that shipping and getting paid internationally is not as hard
as I'd thought. So I should be open to it. Though, as a fairly small-time
seller, I don't want to end up with several "middleman" accounts that have
to be maintained, so I do prefer dealing directly with the buyer and
getting a cashier's check.
