(I'm a newbie at all this stuff). Question 2, I have used paypal before but not as a seller, how does that work exactly? Question 3, what is the best way to ship a plant...in it's pot and through UPS or Postal? Question 4, how do we know what is a fair swap, is there some type of guideline or is there someone like an "Orchid Dear Abby" we can go to for help and reference?
Are these dumb questions or what??????
Newbies, huh?

I didn't mean that you list items and ship them overseas...of course if you have the right paper work you can. What I meant was that, wherever you are...say France, you can put up an ad for sale of orchids in France. In the description of your ad, you can put that the offer is only available in France, or whatever. Plus, the ad will have a French flag on it, so it will be easy to see.

not sure what the best way to ship is...there are vendors here that ship all the time, maybe they'll chime in.

As for paypal, when you place an ad, there's a place to put your email that you have registered with paypal. If somone commits they can send money directly to your paypal account. Once you place the ad, you'll see where to enter the information.
