US sellers using Ebay International Shipping are missing out on higher bids.

I don't know if US sellers get a cut of the shipping fees that Ebay charges Canadian buyers when sellers use Ebay international shipping, but they should. I see a $1.50 USD football card with free shipping within the US, and the EIS charge is $14.56. I see single trading cards all over Ebay with similar outrageous shipping fees charged by Ebay. The prohibits Canadian buys from bidding on those items, which could cause the items to sell for less, meaning the sellers don't make as much as they could. Sellers shipping directly to the buyers would save in shipping costs for the buyer, and give buyers incentive to bid on the item, making sellers more. Anyone disputing that either doesn't know how much Ebay charges for shipping, or works for Ebay, and is just trying to push their unnecessary service.

I should have mentioned, the seller of that $2 coin cancelled and refunded my purchase.

Now he is a lot wiser !!!  He has removed listings while opting out of that International Shipping Program.
