I guess he needed to get into an easier business.

He was exporting a lot of electronics at one time. I think he may have
retired. I sent him a text message earlier today on his old cell phone
number and never got a response.

Last I heard he was involved in a re-shipping business, I think people from
outside the US would buy stuff on from sellers on ebay who won't ship
overseas and have it shipped to Jim. He would then re-ship it to the
overseas destination.

I believe a lot of fraud can occur with the re-shipper stuck in the middle.

Ebay will act as a re-shipper. I've sold stuff internationally thru Ebay
before.

I also sell custom manufactured work internationally direct. Sometimes a
customer will use a transfer company. Sometimes I ship direct. Really have
not had any problems. Most of the time when a customer is using a transfer
company its to consolidate multiple orders from different sources. For
countries that charge a flat VAT on all purchases it saves on freight. For
countries with a threshold to trigger custom duties it can be a wash or even
sometimes more expensive to consolidate orders.

Selling internationally can be a tricky, but if you do a little research and
do things the right way you can stay out of trouble and make some money too.
I've got good customers right here in the USA, but some of my top customers
are also in Australia and Europe.

P.S. I heard an authoratative third party interferred with his Jim's
shipping business making it impossible for him to complete transactions for
several months, and then went away oblivious to the harm their unwarranted
activity had caused.

Jim Rojas was in jail until December of 2020, actually. He got caught in some weapons charges IIRC. I don't know if he's going back into business though.

That's over stated. He exported a scope. I don't even think he was
aware it was covered under weapons export restrictions at the time. It
was wrong. He did it. While technically it might be considered a
weapons charge its a bullshit way to state it.

Jim is out and working on other businesses ideas. Not the export
business though. We chat from time to time.
