I'm sorry but this part of the statement really gets me, but I am hesitant to mail something with a higher cash value to Canada because of the risk of mail fraud/lack of confirmation. I do understand but it makes it sound like only in Canada will you find fraud and scams. Your risk of sending to Canada and not getting paid or getting scammed is no more than shipping within the states.

Yes but there are methods to prove it was sent in the U.S. that are only available for upwards of $25 to Canada. And I need to protect myself as a seller it has nothing to do with the people, it's the lack of shipping options involving delivery/signature confirmation across any border.
