In Reply to: RE: Just curious: Why do so many folks NOT put location (other than "USA") in A.A. ads? posted by Rockethead26 on March 08, 2017 at 06:25:37
You are absolutely right ... and it makes you wonder if there are other reasons to avoid dealing with that person. People usually have trust issues because they themselves can't be trusted.I also get frustrated with ads that won't narrow down a seller's location. I am in Canada, and a LOT of sellers won't ship to Canada. I do however travel to the US on a regular basis, and I have often met up with sellers for local deals. Without a city (or even a state), why bother trying?
By the way, why not sell to Canadians? I sell to Americans all the time, and all it takes is a bit of extra shipping cost (that is paid by the buyer anyway) and completion of a simple customs form.

... is why American sellers fear selling to Canadian residents.There aren't any fundamentally valid reasons why they sure have fears. PayPal and also Canada Post money orders work just fine in the USA, as do all regular credit cards. Shipping to Canada will cost more but the ads may insist that the buyer pays shipping and also taxes, duties, and brokerage. Shipping to Canada is quite reliable though it may take longer mainly on account of clearance by Canada Customs.
Perhaps some Canadian residents don't understand that there will be taxes, duties, and brokerage -- to that extent it is the buyer's, not the seller's fault if issues issues arise in these regards.
But I have had similar problems when selling to Americans from Canada. Many (or most) don't understand why they might have to pay duties on items actually made in the USA. Unfortunately it is difficult to prove US manufacture; NAFTA certificates are practically impossible to obtain by private sellers.

... unless they have never purchased anything on the Internet.
