To our friends and customers in Canada.There has been some questions as to why CCM does not offer for sale items in our e-bay store to Canada?
Ok,here is what happens when we try to add Canada to our shipping destination.We get a red lettered message that says we cannot sell these items thru e-bay because they are prohibited items.

So,I ask Laurie to contact e-bay to get an answer.This is Laurie's question to e-bay.

Hi,
We manufacture and sell after market paintball parts and accessories. I
receive notices from eBay saying we can increase sales by up to 6% by
selling to Canada. The Firearms, Weapons and Knives guidelines say that
paintball guns are permitted if they have a barrel plug and parts or
accessories are permitted if they are clearly marked as being for
paintball only.
When I try to list parts for sale to Canada I receive a notice saying US
sellers may only offer domestic shipping on these products.
Can we sell paintball parts and accessories to Canada? If yes, what
specifically do I have to do to be able to add Canada to our listings?

Ok,got that.Pretty simple and straight forward.Now here is e-bays answer.

Dear Laurie,

Thank you for writing eBay in regard to paintball guns.

We regret any confusion. Paintball guns and accessories can be sold
domestically in the United States or domestically in Canada. However, it
is not permitted to offer these items from the US to Canada or
vice-versa.

Canadians are already buying off of the e-bay store .The postage is the same as US postage.The only postage that is not the same is for complete markers.Please call our sales office for markers.

If anybody has solid verifiable information (no hearsay please) about selling off of e-bay to Canada, Laurie would appreciate the information.
