What does all this mean?

[chariot_badges]

I got an offer.

The address of the buyer is in Ontario, CAN

I check on Pirate and the cheapest shipping is $17.xx

Why didn't this go to a freight forwarder?

How does that work from the buyers POV?

What is going on here?

[iamalwaysright]

International buyers have a choice to use a freight forwarder. It isn't forced upon anyone. Much like you're free to have me ship to your house, or to your parent's house and they hand you the item.

It being an "offer" is irrelevant.

Does your listing offer shipping to Canada?

If so, what does it charge?

[slippinjimmy]

Most Canadians avoid any sellers who only offer EIS, it's an expensive service that is generally very slow (especially for Canada).

I have the same feeling for the GSP (alternate UK name) program offered by UK sellers, If there is any alternative from a seller that ships direct that is the seller who gets my order.

[iamalwaysright]

Can buyers see specifically if a seller is using EIS? Or is it indirectly thru price and delivery time?

I am in the US, (Colorado), but I looked at several of your listings and they all ship to Canada.  So you will have to change your listings if you don't want to ship there directly.

Listing shows EIS for $18 to Canada.

[slippinjimmy]

Yes they can.

You can see them as well if you go to any listing page and change your location to anywhere outside the US.

I don't know what that means.   

What is an EIS?

I don't see anything about shipping to Canada anywhere on that listing.

Who you talking to Jim?   

Is this going to help me exclude Canada?

That's weird, when I looked earlier, it showed Ebay International Shipping for Canada.

Now I don't see Canada on the shipping for that listing.
