    Thumbs up How screwed Am I ???? Shipping To Canada

    So to make a long story short i usually do not sell many items let alone on Ebay. Well I needed a few extra bucks. Put up a jersey and it sold for 650.00 buy it now to a fellow I have dealt before in Canada.

    I leave a note for the wife to get insurance for 600.00 this morning on top of the package with the customs forms all filled out. I call the wife "Thanks for mailing my package and did you make sure to get insurance ?" dead silence on the other end of the phone. Now I know that is not good.

    Needless to say it is being shipped to Canada with no insurance and a full declared value.

    Any bets if it makes it ?

    A few sleepless days await

    I think your buyer will need to pay a tax on that declared value.

    insurance shouldnt be an issue, but it should have been sent global express priority, which comes with signature confirmation

    without it, if he wants to be a chode, you're pretty much screwed. in most instances, people generally are honest though

    Thanks for the positive vibes. He has bought from me before and has over 1000 positives.

    I think the wife feels bad. She made a sweet dinner and who knows what could happen later .

    on any transaction >$250 (selling price +shipping) you need to have signature. it can show delivered, but paypal will automatically refund the buyer without a signature

    international buyers dont like paying the $40-60 it costs to send that way, but such is life. sellers need to protect themselves

    I ship to Canada quite a bit and I feel like it is the safest place to ship besides the United States and I have sent plenty of items first class no tracking or insurance and never had an issue

    The above got a laugh...

    I agree with the last comment, I think Canada is relatively reliable. I'd have the buyer on lookout though to avoid it sitting on his doorstep for an afternoon...

    I don't know, man. For $650, that's a five-star steakhouse and a half hour with Lisa Ann.
