I ship out a lot to Canada. I feel for your situation.But, I want to make it clear to you, nearly 80% of my customers from CANADA, do request undervaluation, and know all the tticks in the book.They have been so bold, as to say:I do not want UPS, or USPS Global Express Mail, because they will tax me.They have gone on to try to request me making it a gift, I refuse to do so.They go on to say to claim it as $15-$20, no more, but I refuse to do so, if they have spent more.They go on to even tell me to NOT put any paperwork inside the box or parcel, no notes, no eBay business cards, nada nda..You have some very BOLD Canadians requesting all these various ways to fool customs. I'm sure that I am not the only seller on eBay that has run into these bold customers. I don't have detailed specirics about selling internationally, I just list my shipping prices internationally to multiple countries. I shouldn't have to make a disclaimer as a reputable seller, that I will not lie on customs form. To me, that demotes my professional image. But, it's always the Canadian customers that buy every item first, and then have this big list of requests, like no invoices, no paperwork, no personal notes, and oh yes, the last one was, can you handwrite my address on the box so that it looks like it's a personal package and not from a business.....and I'm choosing not to use UPS or global express because I will be forced to pay customs/duty taxes.I agree the legialation should probably change, but there has to be some education about Canadian Customers on eBay, that might open up more listings to Canadian customers. I totally understand why that seller said, "I stopped shipping to Canada." They bombard you with requests which cause us, as U.S. citizens, to contemplate committing a felony.

If someone overseas wants to buy my stuff they better be Acaeum members or have a great feedback reputation where I can tell they're frequent buyers of game collectibles and are fully aware of the how and why of everything. With ONE exception I've only had problems with overseas buyers. Mostly they've been in France and Spain, occasionally England. I've shipped to Canada and Australia numerous times and have never had an issue. Germany, Israel, and South Africa are usually OK as well. Oh, I mailed to mention Brazil and Puerto Reco ~ I'll never ship to either of those again! Suck up the negative feedback ~ everyone runs into an evil minded or criminally stupid person now and then... I've found that by actually leaving Negative Feedback during such difficult communications sends a clear message that I'm done messing around and negotiations and efforts (on my part) to make the situation satisfactory on both ends ARE OVER!BTW, I never ship as a gift unless it is a gift. Practice sound and legal business policies and you'll avoid lots of stress. Why stress yourself out to help someone else save a few bucks. I put it right in my billing statement "I will not mark package as a gift or sample. You are responsible for duty and/or tax."
