Why won't Americans buy from Canadians?
 
This is not the first time, i placed an ad on FG. I had two replies from the US showing interest in my 29x10s mejzlik prop and, as soon as, they notice my location is from CANADA they decline the transaction. What's up with that... I get the impression that they don't trust anyone but there own kind, seriously, i'am a nice guy. Oh! that's life i guess.

I think that's pretty funny, the website name is "RCCanada" which means the majority of people selling things on here is most likely Canadian. Some people are just silly.. hahahha

I know it sounds silly, i always place my ad first on RCCANADA , but if no one is interest from Canada i will try my luck on FG. I just wanted to know, if someone else has experienced the same thing. That's all....

Don't forget that your pet polar bear was probably chewing on the item too.

Who knows William, I have many good friends in the US that actually call me to see if I'm interested in an item before they list it down there.

I don't think your issue is unique to FG.

Maybe they know the job Can Post can charge for international shipping, (or even within Canada, for that matter) compared to their counterparts in the USPS.
