Don't always believe what the eBay page says - the seller has usually
just "chosen" the default choice. I've found 950f individuals and 60%
of businesses will ship to Canada if you "Ask the seller a question."
I've found the main problem with buying from Europe is the cost of
sending money, especially to Germany. I think paypal has eased that,
though I haven't used it yet for that purpose.

Same reason many American's will only ship within the USA.

Me thinks it is something other than that. There seems to be a
disproportionate number in Germany who say Germany only. I have shipped
all over the world and really don't understand someone's reluctance to do
so. I must admit that most, although not all, of my international
shipping has been done to list members. Knock on wood, I've never had a
problem either with insured or uninsured packages. Bill Barber
