Selling to Canadians with US addresses, simplified

There are two blocks a seller can establish.
1. An Ebay bid block.
2. A Paypal international payment block.

The Ebay bid block is readily circumvented if the Canadian creates a new Ebay account with  buyer's US address.  This allows the Canadian to bid and win the item.

The payment block will keep the Canadian from paying for the won item, unless the Canadian has established an American Paypal account.  Such a block is not the default.

There's the simple version.

For me, I block the bid, but not the payment. I have made several sales to such people.  Some required a bit of hand holding, but they have all worked out in the end.
