DouglasFir Valued Member Canada 160 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 7:34 pm So recently won an auction on ebay of some Washington quarters. Less than 5 dollars face value. the package was returned to the seller because it was a "prohibited item". I have bought coins from the US before and shipped to Canada with no issue before. Can you please share your experience and knowledge with me on this? how does this work? what am I doing wrong? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 7:44 pm Shouldn't be prohibited unless the seller failed to fill out the customs declaration properly. The paperwork hassle of sending coins to Canada hardly makes it worthwhile unless there is decent value involved. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 7:46 pm yes, your seller, sent them through 1 of the 2 stupid ebay internal shipping programs,.not global shipping but the other one.. and once it gets to the processing center they don't allow coins to come to Canada.. and they don't give you a reason... the seller should give you a full refund. and if you really want the coins, ask the seller to re ship them to you using only USPS/.. I had ordered 4 sets of silver Canada pl sets, from a seller in the states, they were denied entry as prohibited items, are you kidding me, Canada coins can't be shipped to Canada. So yes talk to your seller, and see if they can be re shipped to you.. Or get a full refund and buy somewhere else where they ship by USPS, only.. Report this Post to the Staff
