I am glad to hear that being from Honk Kong is probably not a negative factor as I see a lot of stuff for sale from there. The only thing I ever got from Hong Kong was the rollei soft release you see constantly on ebay. That came without problems and works fine. I have sold a lot of prints to people in Hong Kong and that has always been a good experience.
