There was an announcement about this from eBay yesterday (the 28th of November):

...but of course an announcement on the 16th would have been more useful.

It certainly would have been more useful.  I made a sale to Canada on the 23rd, and bought postage from RM on the 24th.

It would have been even more useful if ebay had programmed a warning on pages with buyer's address showing Canada as the destination.

Just been told by the local post office that they've been instructed not to accept any parcels or mail being sent to Canada.

Now some buyer is claiming item not received to Canada, what shall I do? case is already opened, but ebay doesn't seem very helpful.
