seeking ebay advice, yet again...

read the details below if you'd like, but my question is, should a seller be able to refuse shipping to an unconfirmed address if they don't mention it first in the auction?

so i bought a cd head unit for my pickup that i've been looking for a few months now (rare model, not made anymore). the auction ended yesterday and i immediately sent payment to have it shipped to WA state which is where almost all of my online purchases get shipped to since i can easily drive across the border to save on the extra shipping costs and possibly on sales tax as well that i would be charged if shipped directly to canada. i received an email shortly after that stated that the seller would not ship to my address in WA because the address was not confirmed and wanted an extra $30 to ship to my canadian address which means that i would also have to pay sales tax, 13%.
