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

haha nahh it's probably better in Canada than it is here. 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.

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

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).
