eBay shipping for Canadians is way below useless. I live in Canada. I recently wanted to by a book that Ebay's listing said was located in Canada. Eureka! Upon further investigation, it would seem that it was a US seller but with a warehouse in Canada. The seller offered Free Shipping to US buyers.... but not to Canadians!! So I was expected to pay "International Shipping" for something located in Canada and going to a Canadian address. And why does shipping to "The continental US" have to exclude Canada? Strike a light, people - you gotta go through Canada to get to Alaska, for crying out loud! In the gentle past, US sellers had been sending me my purchases via USPS for years with no problems... and then eBay decided to shower us with their in-house, money-grabbing, shipping program. It was so easy to stick your product on your eBay bought scale, sign in to your local post office website, punch in the dimensions/destination and VOILA, shipping prices for your buyer. I should be able to click a shipping choice: eBay's own, USPS, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail, etc. Not have you decide for us.Some of us don't lose the plot if we have to wait a few weeks.
