Shipping to Canada?
I amsue it's been discussed before. How do you ship to Canada and also be protected from a Paypal chargeback due to item not delivered?? Can you ship with any kind of delivery confirmation??? side note: I bought a Maris card from a Canadian seller and had to ship it back cuz it was a Topps card but advertised as OPC. I never got any kind of delivery conf. or signature and now the seller is claiming that it was never received. Is there anything I can do??

Not really; other than to hope the seller is honest and
that the item will eventually show up.

with PayPal transactions.

FDX can be a problem in Canada. They sometimes use
a private contractor for the final leg of the trip; fees as
high as $35 can be added to the delivery price and the
addressee is told to pay or the item will be returned to
sender. A good way for EBAY sellers to get NEGs.
<< <i>Any idea if Global Express is proof enough with paypal?? If so, how much does that usually run? >>
Yes. PayPal likes it.
Usually about $33+.
<< <i>Express Mail Int'l is cheaper generally and covers the same...at least in my experience. >>
////////////
Yup.
GXG is a bit faster, but the features are the same and the price is a little higher.
EMI starts at about $28.
<< <i>Does Priority Mail International offer tracking??? >>
//////////////////////////////////////////////
The TWO servises that offer PayPal acceptable tracking are
EMI
GXG

Track PMI package shipments.
Note: Tracking is not available for Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes or Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Boxes.
Also i would encourage all sellers NOT to write the recipients address but to copy and paste it ~ avoids problems of misdirection such as L's that look like I's ~~ P's that look like B's etc etc ....
Personally(7+ years & 2000+ transactions) i've never had a problem with USPS INTL 1st class ~ batting 100% cheap and highly effective. DC should only be used when the value of the item warrants it. After all It would be silly to spend $30.00++ on a $20.00 dollar item.
Wait it out ~
if it's been over 30 days something has definitely gone wrong!!
FedEx does not play.
