Poll: Buying From Canadian Sellers ...

JackWESQ

On buying cards from Canadian sellers, are you:

1) (All things being equal as compared to a U.S. seller), do it without hesitation;

2) Will do so only if, e.g. accepts Paypal, has good feedback, good history of selling similiar items, etc.;

3) Will not purchase from Canadian sellers; or

4) [Fill in blank] ...

Thanks much.

Never had any real problems.

2.....but that is usually true with US sellers. If you do not accept Pay Pal, I will likely pass unless it is a really good steal, or I really want it.

I have bought a lot of cards from various Canadian sellers and have had no problems whatsoever. So for me, #1 applies.

Selling to Canadian buyers is another story. Not that the buyers are any problem, it's just that it costs so darn much to mail things there. The only cards I make available to Canadian buyers are OPC FB cards, since no one in the U.S. seems to want to buy them.

I've never had any problems with buying and selling to/from Canadians.

One thing that both parties have to be aware of, though, is that items take a long time to get from one country to the other because of customs. Normal for me on both the buying and selling sides has been 2-3 weeks.

Don't really understand how someone's nationality plays any part in deciding where to buy from. I have had great dealings with Canadian sellers and been scammed by Canadian sellers. I could say the same for American sellers. When buying from sellers in Canada, I usually overnight whatever I buy if the dollar amount warrants it so that I can track the shipment.

I'm surprised it took a Canadian 1 hour and 45 minutes to be offended by this post - usually that happens a lot quicker.

That's funny...

I am not Canadian...but I do collect hockey.

I have a question about selling to Canadian buyers. I went to USPS site and calculated posted on a typical bubble mailer with a slabbed card. It came out to about $1 more than domestic so I passed the cost to the buyer. When I got to the PO, the package came out to be $1 less than domestic, even with the Evidence of something (the PO guy couldn't explain why). The package got there within 5 days and I ended up refunding the buyer the shipping since it was so cheap. I still don't know what happened.

Without hesitation all things being equal.

2, I have actually never had a problem buying from them!

The only time shipping to Canada becomes exorbitant is when you need tracking.

Regular first class mail is only a tad higher then if something was sent within the states.

As for buying from north of the border, I have no problem with that.

I agree. I have bought from several Canadians. Not anymore problems than I had with US sellers.

Have bought and won many high grade Mantles from Canadian sellers over the past 5 years or so and have never had a problem.

Some with Paypal and some by US Postal Money Order.

For some reason, they always make me solve the simple math problem, 2+3=? before selling to me. And oh, good thing I don't live in the former Louisiana purchase territory, or they won't sell at all. Very strange people these Canadians.

I don't know about them Canadians.

1) I buy from Canadian sellers all the time. Everything goes fine, however I do allow a bit more time on shipping. It takes a little bit longer from Canada.
