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

Great chance to save on one of the best antennas still manufactured
today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=014

thanks good luck

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

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).

The Reverse is also True - Canadian Sellers on eBay face a problem
when Mailing/Shipping to the USA.

The High Cost of Postage to the USA from Canada drives the Total
Cost of the Items up so much that it in-fact Cheaper-to-Buy America
{from a US Seller on eBay from within the USA}.

The Smart Canadian Sellers near the Border : Drive Across the US /
Canadian Border and simple use the US Mail : To Save Cost & Time.

Payments To Canada {Except for PayPal} are another Real Issue.

It's very easy to restrict bidders. It has nothing to do with any words in
the listing like "Ships to US only", etc. When you list the item, you
specify in a drop-down box where the item is available. Bidders with
addresses outside that area cannot place a bid.

I notice that this listing says Ships to: Worldwide, so there are no
restrictions on who can bid.
