    100% positive. Most of the stuff I have bought from Canada has been PSA graded hockey cards and game worn jerseys. I would say my average purchase runs about $100-$200, but some have been over $1000, and there have been no problems. If buying something expensive make sure they ship through the PO, not UPS or Fedex. The prvate companies charge brokerage fees, there is no duty or import tax when it is shipped by the post office. You can use Paypal or the orange money orders from the post office, the regular green ones are no good in Canada. It may take a couple extra days to get it through Customs, but usually it gets through pretty quickly. Just use the same caution that you would buying from a US dealer and you should be OK.

    I've bought hockey cards from people in Canada and have had nothing but great experiences.

    Same here. I only buy hockey, so half of the items I purchase come from Canada. It's all good.

    I have had no problems at all. I do have to be a little more patient on shipping time. It does seem to take quite a bit longer sometimes. Also, if I mail my payment, I have to remember to put 2 stamps on it. LOL.

    Seems to be easier to get items out of Canada than into it. Never had a problem buying, had a few problems selling.

    Ditto, though I've had the odd experience of waiting a LONG time for the package to arrive.

    I'll confirm that...any delays have been when I have sent things TO Canada. Anything coming FROM arrives pretty quickly.

    I'm with the consensus! I've had good experiences but had to learn to have patience with the longer shipping times.

    Good luck!

    No problems buying hockey and OPC cards from dealers in Canada. Also bought and sold a bunch of comic books w/o any problems.

    Bought a few times with great results. No worries there.

    To me I put the Canadians right up there with the Nigerians for known scam artists! They are just sitting up there, north of the border, making fun of us, and stealing our money....

    Just kidding.

    That's really a stupid question in my opinion. Why would you think there would be a problem?

    I have had only perfect experiences buying and selling with Canadians on the Bay. Very friendly too!

    P.S. I should have said, "that's a stupid question, eh!?"

    Always received cards but felt they all (Canadians) overgraded them.
