I had a Canadian buyer pull the old "I didn't get it" scam. Ever since then, I have to use some type of tracking, and for international shipments, tracking is quite expensive!! Most Canadian bidders don't wish to pay $20+ shipping for a slabbed card.

I sent a couple postcards up to Canada recently that were both valued over $100 each...I sent them first class, but both buyers had been on ebay for 10 years and had perfect feedback. I crossed my fingers they wouldn't get lost, but I felt assured that these buyers weren't scammers.

As a relatively new low-end seller on eBay, I do NOT ship to Canada. As a matter of fact, I select all of the safe selling features of eBay (only sell to verified addresses, only positive feedback, etc,...). As a novice learning to sell very low value cards on eBay, the last thing I want are problems mentioned in this thread.

Me too. Heard one too many horror stories about being conned by Canadian buyers who exploit the holes in the Paypal system.

before getting back into sportscards, I collected/dealt with Action Figures, GI Joe's and such. I dreaded Canadian buyers. I dreaded shipping to Canada. I don't blame the Canadian citizen, I place full blame on Paypal and Ebay. Like others have said, that delivery confirmation is the key. I had an instance last spring in a which a Canadian buyer, from Edmonton, filed an Ebay dispute with me within something like 10 days. I live in South Carolina. I ended up losing(of course), so I was out $50 and my merchandise. Even with that particular buyer being WAY too impatient, I still blame Paypal and Ebay. Neither entity has a clue when it comes to customer service, and seeing things objectively. On the other side, i've sold some hockey cards to Canadians that have taken 3-4 weeks to arrive(and have bought a couple of cards from across the border that took roughly the same amount of time) and never had an issue. Problem for me is, one idiot impatient buyer, and two dishonest entities in Paypal and Ebay(or maybe one, under the same umbrella, which seems like a conflict of interest), ruined a lot of the Ebay experience for me.

I just moved to Canada. A lot of American sellers won't ship here. Canada Customs dings me 12% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax whatever the heck that is) over items of a certain value. The Royal Mail is slower than the Second Coming. It is going to suck being a baseball card collector in Canada. That is all.

just let them know first class registered shipping is $15 to canada...if they're willing to pay then you can ship by that method. no need to cut our neighbors from the north out.

I do but...
I ship to Canada but I don't like it. NO tracking and it takes forever and a day. If I want tracking then it's some outrageous shipping fee. I usually just pray when I ship there
