Ebay international shipping | Buying

In regards to Ebay's International Shipping to Canada, I can say I'm not impressed. I have a seller in Florida whom I have dealt with on numerous occasions. They are fantastic. I recently made a repeat purchase of an item from the seller. The first time I purchased this item, it was shipped through the global shipping program. 10 days from time of shipping by the seller until I picked it up at the post office in Ontario, Canada. I just purchased this item again in June, but this time it was shipped through Ebay international shipping- 29 days from the date shipped. Tell me how this is the better shipping service. It's a joke. I have also noticed that on many items, the shipping cost is absolutely absorbent, sometimes in the hundreds of dollars. Either some sellers are jacking up the shipping costs to make money, or Ebay's calculator is malfunctioning. With the exchange rate and import charges, and now absorbent and SLOWER shipping costs and times, it makes it almost impossible to buy from the U.S. sellers if you are from Canada. Which is too bad, as I have dealt with a number of really good and honest people. This program needs a lot of improvements. It is also unfair to the sellers, I'd have to assume many of them get more complaints about the slow shipping than ever before. Maybe I'm wrong.
