I used to ship lots of postcards to Canada that would never get there for some reason...now that it costs 6.65 to ship a postcard with tracking I have almost no sales to Canada, and when I do they usually bitch about the high shipping costs even though it is plainly stated before they bid. Paypal's requirement for tracking has IMO caused even more fraud by buyers than before...they know that if it gets shipped without that number they can have their cake and eat it too.
It's not just Canadians or international buyers taking advantage of Paypal's system either...I shipped out about 120 packages in one day and the "new" mailman did not scan them in...out of those 120 packages I had to refund 4 buyers who claimed to not receive their items. Prior to that I don't think I'd had 4 lost packages in the mail in 5 years time.
