Why won't sellers ship to Canada?

[Selecta]

Hey!

 

I'm in Canada and I'm wondering why many sellers here and elsewhere refuse to ship to Canada? I often hear that shipping international (Canada included) is expensive... that's true... but since the buyer is willing to pay for that shipping cost, what difference does it make for the seller? Why refuse business?

Why do so many eBay sellers refuse to ship out of the USA?

Maybe they don't want to bribe customs with jelly donuts from Tim Hortons,and sop it down with beer eh.

When selling here, I don't hesitate to sell to Canada.

When selling on ebay, I hesitate to sell to anyone outside of the U.S.

It depends.

I ship non-Ebay stuff to Canada,but not Ebay stuff.

Why?

Not worth the risk for a low DSR for longer shipping times to Canada.

It`s a hassle if you sell on EBay, and could cost you your Ebay account if you get many low DSR`s because of shipping to Canada or other countries.

That`s the main reason.

Then you got tracking issues, It`s harder to track something sent to another country

I hope that explains it.
