eBay item from Canada to US = any issues

Just wondering any gotcha's if I bid an item from Canada to US using Paypal. Also seller had (0) feedback.

I wouldn't buy from someone with zero feedback. I know everyone has to start somewhere but I'd rather let someone else be the guinea pig.

don't. any return is a pain.

maybe if they have excellent feedback or you plan on keeping the item regardless.
also if they have 0 feedback they might not know how to ship things across the border.

If they know how to walk in the door of a post office, the rest gets easier. But I agree be careful with 0 feedback.....

I have shipped a fair bit of stuff to the US and never had an issue, ever. I'm talking maybe 50-60 items. If you do proceed, just make sure they pay for proper insurance....you will have to pay for it, but it's not much.

I would not.

How much money is involved? I'd be OK with a small purchase from a (0), but I wouldn't spend big bucks. eBay/PayPal protection is weighted toward the buyer, but stuff happens.

You need to check with your credit card company to make sure the card you are using will not be charged for international fees. I did not realized such a thing and paid a hefty price for my purchases.

yea. use discover card or a capital one card.

There should be no issues, having items shipped from Canada to the US. You would
have to be brain dead, not being able to fill out the Customs Declaration, required by
any of the shipping companies. The most cost effective is still Canadian Post Office,
even if they are a little slow, especially when it comes to the Hand off to the US
Customs agency. I think they use Turtles to tow the carts across the border

But as others have said, I would be more concerned with the 0 feedback, if it's for
anything more than $50.00 to $100.00. There are as many 419 Scammers claiming
to be in Canada as there are in the US, the UK, or any other country.
