You're not thinking of selling something on Ebay to someone offering to pay by credit card and asking you to ship to Africa, are you?

Thanks for confirmation. Background is a Kenyan company want to buy some goods from me (NOT e-bay ) and I suggested payment by Visa/MasterCard. Guy over there mailed to say that credit cards didn't exist in Kenya. It's likelly he just doesn't have one but I thought I would ask especially as I don't want to suggest it again to someone else and look stupid (easy enough )
