It is more than just the ITAR hassles.  There are hassles all around.  either
you lie at the post office about the value or you pay customs there.  The
paperwork takes time.  There is no legal recourse in the case of fraud.  Just
not worth the effort for most folks when they can sell their stuff here.

Don't know about wormholes but there are people who do that, take receipt of
something you purchased and ship it to you.  I used to do that when I lived
next door to the post office.  I charged a small fee to cover my labors and to
average out the PO fees other than postage.  Alas, the closest PO to me now is
about 40 miles.  Bet you could find other people to do that for you.

If you're dealing on sleazebay, why not put up a Wormhole for sale.  Describe
the services and let people make offers.  Sleazebay may pull it after a few
days but I bet you'd find someone.
