The $7.53 was paid to the seller to cover his shipping cost to Pitney Bowes Distribution Centre.
The $26.24 paid to Pitney Bowes has nothing to do with the seller. It covers the shipping charge from Pitney Bowes to you and a small handling fee. No tax is added as the lot sold for less than Cdn$20.
Frankly, US sellers should not use GSP for such low value lots. eBay recommends sellers use GSP for shipments averaging $50.
Yes they should. If American sellers took the time to read what the program is all about, most of them selling low priced items would not offer GSP.
But, it is so much more fun blaming eBay.
