Sale?  Yes.  Legitimate?  No.  Three years ago I ran a credit card 
authorization on a purchase order to our website and it cleared.  I 
naively had a $6,000 order shiped directly from our supplier via DHL to 
an address in The Gambia.  It was purchased with a credit card stolen 
from some English guy and it never made it to its destination.  I can't 
remember the city but it stopped tracking somewhere in Europe.  The 
English guy naturally disputed the charges and I was out a bundle of 
money.  Most credit card merchant accounts do not guarantee 
international authorizations.  I wish I knew that then.
