I was buying 8 plates from a US seller and when I paid it showed the pst gst and duties I was paying. As it turn out the seller only had only 6 plates left to sell which she reversed my money and did adjusted the price. As I was paying for these 6 plates for less money of course, the pst and gst and the duties each were a lot higher then the 8 plate transaction. I ask the person if she would look into it but said she didn't know anything about taxes and duties. I assume Ebay looks after it. I can't remember the amounts but the pst was over 12% and the pst was over 7%and the duties was high also. I tried looking into it myself through ebay with no luck at all. Hard to find real help here kept going in circles. I even went on ebay chat, waste of time it was a bot that only answered certain question and no person to help. I did bump into a phone number but already wasted over a hour looking for help on line and didn't feel like being put on hold. Of course I didn't buy the plates. They were expense to begin with the taxes and duties being wrong I didn't feel like over paying the duties and the taxes. I was wondering why this happened to begin with? It makes me not want to buys things here. Anyone know who you contact for this mistake in the future since ebay help doesn't seem to help that much? - Thanks
