I seem to get the most grief out of Canadian buyers. Not all of them, but a large majority of bidders just don't read my rules, want me to bend my rules, and then cry about it when I don't.
How do these whiney little wimps like hockey so much??? They're such pacifists, that is simply doesn't make sense.
By the way, this is a joke... I'm sure the Canadians would get it. Most have a sick sense of humor.

Most of my Canadian customers are great, and I ship hundreds of packages to Canada a year, so I ship there a lot. There are a few who complain, but then again I probably would too if I had to pay the taxes and fees they do. Honestly I am really tempted to tell someone who complains about it that someone has to pay for socialism, but I never do. I definitely don't want to mix any politics into my ebay business with my customers, so I just tell them that I can't send anything as a gift because I ship from a small post office, and am well known there. They know I don't ship gifts.

Rustygumbo,
I have to admit that I began my eBay experience as a very liberal, diversity-loving, and tolerant person. I'm still liberal, but I sure hold to some stereotypes now.
It hasn't happened so much lately, but a few months ago I determined that Canadians were less than 10% of my sales, but at least 75% of my "difficult fulfillments."
