Beware. I sent a $1000 cdn item in May made in china. The tariffs that day were 200 %. So UPS wanted $1150 us$ at delivery Buyer refuse and product was returned to me in Canada. Last night 3 months later UPs charged my eBay account $1654 as they have charge the tariffs of that day back on me. Even though the item was returned. Now my money is gone and eBay’s does nothing. Ups is so far backed up it could be months before they even look at my claim. No guarantees I will ever get back my money. I have now cut off all USA sales as tariffs will be charged on all items starting next week. I expect many refusals and sellers will have to pay to get products back

·7 months agoCette situation est grâve. Depuis des mois que nous attendons que Ebay émette des procédures claires car les dommages sont très grand autant pour les vendeurs que pour les acheteurs. Je crois même cesser de vendre dès 2026.

·10 months agoEBAY shipping is another way of driving Canadian buyers away. I tried to buy 3 four inch decals from the same seller, Ebay would not combine shipping and charged me 14$ US for each decal then Purolator wanted another 12 buck for brockerage charge for 15 dollars worth of decals. seems even
the sellers arnt aware of the shipping cost. just crazy, so now I cant buy or sell on Ebay after 29 years of full time selling and buying. bye bye.

·10 months agoI have removed all my listings from my ebay US account and will open a Canadian account stipulating that we will not ship to the US under any circumstances. Who needs the headache? and this is one big unnecessary headache.

·11 months agoI'm sorry to hear about losing your hard earn money that way.
The message is clear. If you are a Canadian seller, and unless you sell stamps, books, CDs or cards that are CUSMA compliant, don't even try to sell to American buyers. At least not until eBay has a systmem setup for buyers to see and prepay what's coming to them, in terms of tariffs and fees.

·11 months agoIm sorry to hear about this, i was still open to the USA and was going to use UPS until I was told about Sellers being on the hook for all of the Tarrifs and Fees like this. I hope others will see this so they know also. I had to stop shipping to the USA all togethter because of this. I hope that somehow you will be able to be reimburssed at sometime in the future.

·11 months agoUnfortunately, you almost certainly won't get it back. UPS has to prepay the tariffs to the US government before the item crosses, and they're non-refundable. If they didn't charge you, they'd have to eat the money themselves (which no carrier is going to do).
