being a seasoned user; instead of ignoring his request for a cancellation, you could have taken 2 minutes out of your day to PM the user and educate him

How long did he wait until sending the request?
Doesnt accepting the cancellation get you the game quicker. Now you had to wait for the game to not come first, then wait for the game again from a different user. Just a little confused on that part of the logic.

Don't listen to any of these pansies. I wouldn't have accepted the cancellation either. Good on you for giving a rotten user the negative he deserves.

That's kind of my thought. The seller had to change his trading region manually to include Canada and they should have checked out the buyer before agreeing to mail the game.
I think the seller needs to chalk this up to a hard lesson learned, though better communication from both parties would have resolved the issue before feedback was left.

Damn straight. I'm slightly appalled that all these veteran and mod users are suggesting to 'Do the nice thing' and accept a cancel on a matter that clearly doesn't warrant such action. That's just like providing +10 to a user that shipped a week late and only sent the disc on a FP listing just because you liked their avatar.
As far as I know, you can't ACCIDENTALLY add countries to your trading region, so this fool was just trying to weasel out of a trade. There's no reason he should even consider the cancel, and this user who has refused to ship a game should be docked for it via their feedback and provide a warning to others (especially Canadian users). The OP is doing a favor to the community at an expense to trading time by taking the time to point out this subpar (and abusive) trader to the rest of the community. It wasn't too long ago we had a few users post giving out +5s/+10s for transactions that should have truly been neutral and the community went all "what the hell?" on them. This is no different, and the proper feedback was left.

I actually am leaning towards both at fault in some way, though the seller is mostly at fault in the end.
Seller should not have activated canada.
Buyer should have asked why they could not ship to Canada. Possibly mention the customs thing. That is possibly the only thing I would have done differently as the buyer, though.
Only DTP knows the sellers cancelation record, though.
derekjr: Seller should not have activated canada.
I am with the buyer on this one. Not only should the Seller have not activated canada but the seller should have looked at the address it had to be shipped to BEFORE he accepted the trade.
That is were the seller was really wrong, and because of that deserves to receive negative feedback and learn from his mistake otherwise he will most likely do it again.

I guess it is possible to activate the Canada on accident (though how i am not sure, but it is possible). EDIT: If it was truely an accident and didn't know he had canada activated, he had no reason to check the address. That is why I mentioned the buyer part.
I normally do not look at the address before I ship. I look at the buyer history. If it looks good, I will accept the trade and ship it.
If I hit accept, though, I will always send it now matter where they are. It is just the right thing to do.

He did mention the customs slip once the fellow said why he didn't feel like sending it.

In the dispute. Some probing PM's as to why the seller requested the cancellation could have sorted all this out within a few days of the trade being accepted.
I read it as the custom slip was mentioned after the negative was left. I assume this was a only few days before the trade was auto closed. I meant mention it when it first came up when the seller first stated he can't send games to Canada. DTP can correct me if I am wrong in my timing, though.

No, you're reasoning looks right; I see what you're saying.
Still, I'm not in favor of putting blame on a buyer for a seller's hesitation and mistakes.
