Reason #2: No Seller Protection for Paypal Payment

Why don't some US sellers ship to Singapore?

Reason #2:
Paypal, an email-based payment system, is popular among eBay users in USA. Paypal protects both buyers and sellers through a mediation system. Certain terms and conditions have to be met by the trading partners chief among which is the use of a "Confirmed Address". As Singapore Paypal addresses cannot be "confirmed" for US sellers, this removes seller protection.

Thus some US eBay sellers choose to sell to only Paypal "confirmed addresses" in USA.
