I am a Canadian buyer, and I know there are taxes etc...at my end...so what are these "Import charges" I am seeing on some items?

It is stopping me from bidding on several items...and would really like to know if this is just a "guestimate" of what I will be charged at the post office, or another "ruse" by some sellers to get more $$.

Hi suecq57.. Listings from some US sellers are showing a reference to import fees. These sellers are signing onto eBay's new global shipping program..

Charges if applicable are paid at checkout and not on delivery.  Program does not support combined discounts.
