eBay: Read the entire auction before asking questions

I have another camera up on eBay. Old cameras sell pretty well, but they attract a lot of overseas buyers. Everytime I sell a camera, I get about a dozen people asking the same questions.

Will you ship overseas? How much to ship to my country? Does the item work? All of these answers are spelled out as a part of the auction but people ask any way.

Here are the first two questions that I have been asked by potential bidders:

"hello.could you apply ship to taiwan?how much the delivery cost to taiwan?is it with registered and insurance?are everything work correctly one the camera and lens as that should be?does that with scratches,fongus and haze?or any other problems?thanks~~~"

and…

"Could you send this item to Russia by Airmail or Global Express Mail(EMS)? If so, how much will it cost for me? Did you check the camera? Does it work fine?"

The funny part is that everytime someone askes me a question, I post the question and the answer onto the auction so that people won’t have to ask the same question twice.
