"Import fees due prior to deliveryCustoms will apply import fees when your item arrives, including duties, taxes, and processing fees. The shipping carrier will contact you to pay them prior to delivery" What do you think is the attitude of the USA buyers to this notice on each item from Canadian sellers (from other countries probably as well) ?Even on the postcard with the price of $2.99 Cdn.? I am speaking about people who could for years to buy without custom fees for items valued up to $ 800 US.The word "negative" is probably too soft. My sells actually stopped, I am not getting enough to cover my store's subscription. And as you can see I am selling low priced items. I am not blaming anybody but eBay's "survival" is my question - Americans were the largest crowd of my buyers. Probably most of you experience the same or similar situation. For over 30 years I was doing very serious underwriting and my habit to evaluate the risk turns on automatically. Wrote this note just to express my feelings... Thanks for "listening"
