You see what it says in the title. I purchased multiple items on my eBay buyer account. I hadn't realized that since returning to eBay after a two-year hiatus, things appear to have changed. *Maybe* they've changed, because I am not sure of the details concerning the past. Anyway... yesterday I was dinged with a $9.95 fee.Canada Post is doing this now to some larger purchases, I was told. Though it wasn't explained why it was implied why--because with the eBay changes, Canada Customs processing at CP has increased. So someone has to pay to initiate change at eBay (deductional reasoning). I was P*SSED. Because I carefullly calculated what I was willing to spend, and the 9.95 was not included. To be clear, they charged me $9.95 fee for the privilege to be charged PST and GST by them. Then, to avoid having to return it over my objections, they relabeled it; it was thereafter referred to as a "brokerage fee". Pfft. So many systems are broken today. I can, have, and will continue to speak out on such matters.
