It's because they want to avoid the whole customs process. If they ship you something that you purchased from them, and they mark it correctly on the customs form, you'll get charged a tax when it gets to you, and a lot of buyers don't realize this and go off on the seller for not lying on the form.

I have bought many things on Ebay which were listed as United States only. Just use the "Ask the seller a question" link on the listing and ask them nicely if they will ship to Quebec or where ever and most will say yes no problem. A few will say no, it's too much trouble, but this is rare.

I used to sell to canadian customers, but they would always nail me with customs fees...they'd refuse to pay them, and it would come back to me.For that reason alone, I stick with the states only.

I've never had to pay customs from something from Ebay. The seller usually marks it as a gift for me.
