Why is shipping so expensive to Canada.
It limits my shopping with Ebay lately. I can go direct and find shipping 0 to 1/4 of Ebays charges...........................
Best Offer Purchases
Many E-bay sellers offers "Best Offer Purchases". I think this is better than auction sometimes since you don't have to compete with other buyers. How does one know what the best offer to give so there is chance of seller accepting the offer ?How muc...

Are all sellers from China dishonest? Which ones are thrust worthy?
I have purchased 3 items from sellers in China in the past few months and none of the items were as described. Not only that but the sellers tried to trick me into positive feedbacks only to go back on their word and not deliver their own proposed so...
No Shipping To Canada
Ebay has a policy which charges fees just not on the item sold, but on the shipping charges attached to that item. Therefore, American Ebay sellers are blocking Canadians from purchasing their items unless pre-arranged and even then this does not mea...
Why does Ebay allow dishonest Chinese sellers on here?
I have been looking at the negative feedback of all the Chinese sellers on Ebay and I am shocked that these scam artists, these liars, these crooks would be allowed to sell their junk on Ebay. It seems that most everything they sell is garbage and th...
Sellers not leaving feedback - Is this a new trend on eBay ?!?
Great! Over the last few weeks, I've had 5 sellers not leaving any feedback, even after I gave them 5 stars ratings. Why should they? It is just simple, basic curtesy IMHO. From my point of view I just find it rude, and I just won't purchase from the...
Seller not accepting Paypal
One last question before I hang up my Ebay hat permanently...I bought an item from a seller, until I attempted to pay there was NO indication this seller does not accept Paypal. I was advised that I had to call him, after the sale, to give him my cre...

Why do China sellers never send items and just refund?
Why do Ebay sellers from China always do this?You can clearly see on the auction that they have enough items in stock of what I won or buyed out. My package is shipped and I wait and wait and wait and wait, 3 weeks pass, never received anything, so I...
Shipping cost rip offs.
Some sellers are taking advantage of the increased postal rates and charging staggering high shipping charges. Charging 16 to 26.00 dollars to ship a magazine or a single page advertisement is almost criminal. I hope no one buys from these sellers.Wh...

Are eBay shipping policies are a form of "racism"
eBay is a Global Marketplace, yet its shipping policies have racist undertones.Why? Because they allow sellers to discriminate against buyers based on where they live.If an African-American or Italian-Canadian walk into a store, I can't refuse to sel...
US SELLERS EXCESSIVE SHIPPING CHARGES.
Why is it that virtually ALL U.S. sellers charge Canadian eBay buyers exorbitant shipping? America is extremely wealthy. Why can't they have worldwide free shipping services like China or Canada. It would benefit their sellings.
Resolved! Seller lists items with free shipping but then cancels sale
I won an auction and had the seller cancel my purchase. When I questioned what had happened he said that there had been an error by his staff and that the shipping to North America is not free. The problem is all of his listings state free shipping! ...

Basically, I want an item from a shop that only ships to Canada, is it possible or does someone do this kind of service directly here where they buy it for you, ship to themsleves and then ship it to you internationally? Maybe some very reputable sel...
Ebay's international shipping, not the seller, delivered the wrong item to me.
Ebay's shipping center in Kentucky appears to have put someone else's shipping label on my package, and my shipping label on someone else's. I got a cell phone, and who knows where the camera I ordered has ended up... How do I fix this? eBay's interf...
