Re: Thanks, Internet!

It could have been, this was right around the time they changed to the new short-form seller listing, which is terrible. However, I did specifically state in the listing no buyers outside the US and the shipping option was setup to only give quotes for US zip codes (so the winning bidder wasn't even able to pay, or even see the what the shipping charge would be, until I sent him a quote). Most likely the buyer just ignored all that. I read about it happening all the time and eBay customer support (which threw out its chat and email options, you have to call India now) offers no help.

The order shouldn't have gotten through to Canada unless there was something missing in your item's page setup. You might investigate the matter further by reading user's posts on this matter. If this has been a long-existing issue as I understand, then people have probably posted solutions to the problem. :-)
