Wanted: Ebay purchase from Canada

[Jes Andersen]

I think some are concerned about ITAR, or don't understand the rules and the others may have an issue with not being paid due to some fraud perpetrated by people in other countries. I have always thought of the US in the same way as Canada and with few exceptions have always had a good experience. As mentioned, some just won't deal outside of the US and that's fine, as I can find most what I want elsewhere.

For Case tractor parts, I have found a small family business that knows what I need, will ship USPS and are as helpful as anyone could ever expect. I now deal with them, rather than others I have used in the past and especially the local overpriced and under motivated Case dealer. If anyone wants the contact info, I can post it up later.

Frankly speaking, with humans involved there is always a chance for fraud somewhere, and trust me, vendors can screw you too and hide behind being in a foreign country.

I was once the victim of a fraudster who cashed my money order (remember those) and failed to send me my stuff. Thankfully I was informed that the US Postal Service take a dime view of fraud perpetrated through the mail and I got them involved and got satisfaction very quickly, the amount of the purchase you may ask? $30, not much but enough to hurt my pocket book.

You have to do what you have to do these days, some of us live in easy striking distance of the border and we use a Kinek account and go over collect our wares and drag them back and pay up at the border. It seems to be the easiest way all around, the US vendor doesn't have to export and it is a doddle coming in with stuff and our CBSA loves to take my money.

I have purchased items for others and was the one who has bought the items for Adrian in this case and have had others buy for me.

It is a whole new whacky world out there and it will only get worse.

The potential fines under ITAR (if it is military vehicle or military items) from the US will deeply hurt or bankrupt many businesses. Not that I think John Deer headlights fall under that, but it is the case with many other items. I have even had dealers refuse to ship made in Canada items back to Canada.
