Default My RF Systems Shortwave Antenna is Relisted on ebay

Hi guys--

For those of you interested, My RF Systems MLBA-MK4 is relisted on
ebay. The original buyer turned out to be Canadian contrary to the
auction rules


Had that happen to me once-- I said "Ships to U.S. Only" for one
particular auction and high bidder was a Canadian, eh. Not sure if he
didn't understand the "U" or the "S" or the "Only". It pays to keep an
eye on your bidder's location, but you're sort of stuck if they snipe
and don't leave you enough time to bounce their bid.

-- we tried shipping but it got so screwed up with
customs and UPS that we cancelled the deal.


Interesting...and confirms what I've already discovered. Don't know why,
but I've had an easier time sending eBay stuff to Japan, Hong Kong,
Taiwan and South Korea than Canada. (Exception- Canada seems OK for
items small enough for U.S. Mail).
