An interesting side note follows. There is now a seller on Ebay selling what he refers to as a 'consolidating service' for international buyers. There is probably some legitimacy to the service, but I 'suspect' that it has more to do with how to get out of paying customs fees etc.
I would be suspicious of an e-bay offer to provide that service. I know there are services that advertise here in Canada to do just that. Many american sellers will ONLY ship within the US, and not "Overseas" (as if the St Laurence seaway constituted a "sea") and some also will only deal with US issued cards.
one http://www.borderfree.ca/ is actually run by the Canadian post office and makes deals with US merchants to handle stuff for them.
One popualr method is like http://shiptotheborder.com/ which arranges for places like UPS stores to hold packages for Canadians to drive down and pick up. The customer has to clear though customs and show their Receipts on the way back.
general folks like the e-bay guy also exist like http://www.reship.com/ -- Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario [email protected] Just Beyond the Fringe http://users.trytel.com/~cmacd/tubes.html No Microsoft Products were used in sending this e-mail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
