Hi All,
Maybe someone can explain what happened to me? I was watching an item that clearly stated in the listing "does not ship to Canada" which is fine, I live in Canada but I have relatives in the USA that I regularly have items shipped too and then forwarded on to me in Canada. Here is my issue. I watched the item for the last 7 days and as the auction was about to end I placed my max bid and hit the place bid button, when I did this I got an error message pop up that the seller doesn't ship to Canada....no guff I read the ad, I have a US shipping address. Is this because somehow my paypal account shows I am in Canada and somehow blocks my bid? I have won several other auctions where the seller did not ship to Canada (stated clearly in the ad) and I was able to place my bid and provide the us shipping address. This is a first for me. Anyone out there know what happened? I tried calling the Ebay help line but got no where! no answers from them (it was like the guy didn't even know what I was talking about)
P.S The item sold for $100 USD less than what my max bid was for so really the seller lost out on this. Appreciate any comments/answers you might have!
