Selling to Canada is a bit of a pain as you mentioned. I also have had issues with extremely long shipping times. Buyer sure can get angry with long waits but what can ya do? I also don't enjoy the asking to lie on government forums to ship. And I myself had 2 very poor experiences with canadian buyers doing chargebacks getting caught in lies about deals. Had one buy tweeters say they didn't arrive did charge back but I noticed in audio asylum he was mentioning how great they sounded in his system. This I forwarded to paypal and eventually got my account opened. I know isolated incidents but it does keep me from selling to Canadian buyers unless I know them.

Lame eh? Maybe read my post. I said I had 2 issues. And lots of complaints about slow shipping, requests for gift or under valuing item so less tax. My real experiences sorry if it offends.
Slow shipping from the USA is a fact. Canadians who get fair bit of stuff from south of the border know this perfectly well. Incidentally the slowness is the fault of the brokerage/customs process, not the shipping process per se .I have once or twice been asked to under value items I'm to shipped to the USA: I just refuse. In any case it reduces any possible insurance claim that might need to be made.
In my experience "Gift" doesn't avoid taxes, etc.; the request is ignorance on the part of the prospective buyer and there is no advantage if you comply or don't.

Unassailable proof!
BTW the issue is not about not wanting to ship to Canada, but about excluding buyers based on where they live. The shipping issue was always covered by Audiogon and sellers have always been free to say I will not ship to X, Y or Z country if they receive an offer so why add that mention and highlight it?
Someone from the US explained it by saying that Audiogon was in South Carolina, but I think too highly of South Carolinians to believe that.

Then why did you say, in another post (above), "It's not about
importing things from Canada it's about exporting things from
the US ..."?
