Canadian listings in US dollars with international shipping to Canada

[andremontevilla]

I don't get it. I search for listings located in Canada and a bunch of them are priced in US dollars with shipping to Canada in US$ identified as "international shipping". I don't want to pay in US$ for something that is located in Canada and shipped to me in Canada. I mean even the seller loses out too in that case, no? With the exchange rate fees? What am I missing?

Seller is most likely listing on eBay.com and is selling in US dollars..

Seller can only list in US dollars.

on eBay.com ....Shipping to the US is domestic shipping

Shipping to Canada is international shipping

Thanks that was clear. Now I wish eBay.ca would allow me to filter these out. I have no interest in misguided Canadian sellers that take on this practice. Ebay.ca's own guidance on this is bang on:
