I sold a couple of (semi-rare) items over to Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland 
China at fairly good prices a couple of years ago. I convinced myself I had 
even made some profit ? 

I used eBay, took extra care with the transactions, etc.. 

The most difficult bit was to find among the Chinese students of mine, one 
who would or could write the addresses by hand on the labels for the parcels 
to China. I found one who was willing to try. He confessed he?d have to 
practice a bit first as he had not written by hand for ten years of so ?

And all went fine.
