I know alot of people like to rag on the inefficientcy of eBay, especially as it pertains to Canadian buyers. However, compared to a site like Discogs, eBay is a well oiled machine. At least its platform works. I purchased a CD on Discogs yesterday from a Canadian seller. Fine, went through the process, ordered, invoice sent, took me to Paypal where I paid instantly. All done in a few clicks. However, when it brought me back to Discogs page, the shipping rate that Discogs charged from what I had clicked on had changed from $3.99 to $15.00, plus it had not updated the sale to money received, it had stayed at invoice sent, and would not update no matter what I tried. I shut down, restarted, cleared cache, but it still showed I needed to pay for the disc that PayPal showed I had paid for. I contacted the seller, he responded quickly saying his Paypal account showed the money had been sent, and wondered what was wrong as well. I sent a help message to Discogs, and the seller also sent one. The seller was great and sent me the back the overpayment that Discogs had charged. As of this morning, not a word from Discogs support. The best part, if this stays the way it is, I will get a Did Not Pay black mark from Discogs because according to their platform, I didn't pay for the disc. I could care less now as I will never use Discogs again. At least with eBay you have someone to contact, with some other platforms, you're just left floating in the breeze.
