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?

Another point to made is when a seller chooses to list on a different site they are not providing the buyer with the actual service they will be using. To my eye if I pay for a particular service I would like to receive that service. Same goes for all these sellers using "International Priority Service" or "Economy International Shipping". Basically generic terms that can apply to whatever service they want it to be. Will you get it fast or slow? Who knows??? Calculated is honest way without all the smoke and mirrors.
This mentality of getting away from offering a variety of services(eBay HQ driven) makes no sense to me. As a buyer I should be allowed to make a choice that suits my needs and my budget instead of having to jump seller to seller to seller to find one that works for me. It's making eBay a less friendly place to even want to shop at.
