Hello 'mpit',
Chances are the seller does not even know the items are showing up on ebay Canada.
Whilst the GSP is lousy for Canadians (and other countries, too), it is great for Americans
who do not want to ship internationally.
Those American sellers who choose to sell only within the US have their items listed
internationally whether they know it or not, but when someone outside their borders buys
the item, the seller needs only mail it to Kentucky, whereupon it is forwarded to the buyer
in whatever other country.
If you contact the seller and inform him that his listings are showing up here, most likely
you will get one of two responses:
He will be surprised and will take his listings out of the GSP, or he will tell you how good the
GSP is because he just ships to Kentucky and his worries are over.
If, however, you really like his item, and he is exceptionally helpful and would like you to
have it, he may take that listing out of the GSP for you and redo the listing with plain old
USPS First Class so you can buy it at a fraction of what it would cost otherwise.
But that's where all the listings come from, - GSP on listings from sellers who previously
did not list worldwide, but who do so now whether they want to or not.
An American company devising a way to get more money for Americans. Are you surprised?
