I know right. But I see this done on Sooo many things. A $9.00 CD with free shipping to the U.S. or $10.00 shipping to Canada.. It's often not even worth purchasing once the shipping is added. I could go to a store here and just pay $16.99 or whatever the CD cost. BUT if I lived in the U.S. I would have so many sweet deals with free shipping (or very inexpensive shipping). Sucks to me I guess Originally Posted by prinny

Maybe the shipping costs are making up for the labor costs in Canada since it's higher there and people have like higher salaries and all. I don't think it used to be like how it is now like back in the day lol.

Canadian dollar is higher than the US dollar :S

That's because it sucks trying to ship something to Canada... the whole thing with dealing with customs, lost packages, etc... is just a huge headache and really isn't worth the couple dollars profit you'd make on any of these items on ebay.Originally Posted by prinny

I wish there were more people within Canada offering parts (as well as other things). Originally Posted by dofu

Made up example: I search e-bay for.. say "g35 plenum" I'll get 30 hits within the U.S. and maybe 1-2 in Canada. And the guy from Canada always wants more for the item anyway. I simply don't have an option other then paying a stupid amount of shipping fees to get what I want. (There are always a few exceptions, but this happens way too much).
