Hi,I collect sports cards. I am in Canada and this purchase like most of mine is from a US seller. On my latest purchase I won the auction and went to pay, it then had added GST/PST and $70 for duties. I have no problem paying GST/HST. Every single one of my purchases over $100 goes thru Canada post and they collect the GST/PST and they levy a $9.95 processing fee for clearing the package. On a few previous purchases ebay has charged the GST/PST upfront and then I am not charged anything additional upon delivery.I have zero issue with paying GST/PST and the $9.95 fee that Canada post charges.My issue is what eBay did on this order. They levied the GST/PST plus they charged what appears to me, a $70 fee instead of $9.95.The $70 charge is more than the combined total of the GST/PST as well.It makes no sense to me. eBay customer support is not helpful and I have contacted the global shipping center to only receive an email back with a link to basically the FAQ which doesn’t explain a whole lot in detail.
