Meanwhile, I don't think I've ever seen a Canadian listing that doesn't at least ship to the US. Obviously Germany has a larger population, but still, what's the deal?

I can't answer that, but I can give you a little hint. Send every single seller a message asking about US postage. I tend to type up a message in English, then translate it to German--or whatever language depending on country. I will paste in both versions of it, so they will answer in English if the speak it, but the German--or whatever language--is there if they don't. A lot of them will ship to the US. It's still not advertised as such, though, so you're essentially only bidding against people in that country. I've done this a lot and ended up with some crazy bargains because of it.
