OT: Selling on eBay? Be careful sending items to Canada

[GrayGhost]

I just sold my prized baseball recently to another forum member, and despite registered mail /Insured and customs crap, it got to him fairly fast, and in good shape. Was it cheap to send and hassle free? No, especially to the second part. Maybe I got lucky tho.

I occassionally sell cheap stuff on the Bay too, and hope I don't have to send to Canada, or any foreign land. Just a hassle overall.

Scott, I bet you're talking about me! I did get the ball in a little over a week and was very happy with that. It was also packaged very well. (Nice avatar BTW!) When I buy anything over $100.00 from the States I always offer to pay for insurance and tracking. Costs me a bit more but gives peace of mind to both the buyer and seller and creates good cross-border relations!
