I'm on the Canadian side of the border. To be frank it's a pain in the ass. If I buy multiple cards from the same seller, they must be shipped individually rather than in a single package. Rather than send the card directly to the buyer, you are asked to send it to a sorting depot in Illinois. Once it reaches that depot, the seller is off the hook for any losses in transit on the second leg of the trip.
The card seemingly goes into a black hole for roughly a week or more with no tracking updates, and re-emerges on the Canadian side. It probably adds two weeks to the shipping time vs a straight delivery directly to the buyer, but that's apparently what eBay wants.
From the US point of view, it's great. You just ship it domestically, and as soon as it reaches the sorting hub, your end of the deal is done (unless you have a return from the buyer). Shipping in multiple packages is annoying, but that cost is all covered by the buyer
