I've never used a "vault", but I did sell an expensive card to a person in Japan. I was concerned about shipping, insurance, etc. to ship the card to Japan. As it turned out, I shipped the card to his PWCC vault account. That took a big load off. Another concern was I wanted to ship it USPS. The max USPS insurance coverage available through ebay was $5000. Not totally insured, but enough that I felt comfortable. It made it to PWCC with no problems.
So, if someone outside of CONUS purchases a card - from a seller's perspective - shipping the card to a "vault" within CONUS is fantastic.
With all the comments so far in this thread regarding taxes, an even deeper river is selling something outside of CONUS - and shipping to a "vault" in the United States. Complicated stuff.
