No, You've paid it alreasy.
It sounds as if the seller is using the Global Shipping Program.
EBay does not encourage sellers to use this for items under $50, for exactly the reason you give.
However. In this case, it sounds as if the $6.76 represents duty (probably zero) sales tax (approx. $3.75 at HST 15%, could be lower in some provinces) and service fee (about $3.01) which is collexted by Pitney Bowes as the Global Shipping Program
PLUS the seller's shipping fee of $29.18 , which he uses for postage to Kentucky where the parcel is processed for delivery to you in Canada.
And that's pretty high considering the cost of shipping Domestically by USPS even with Delivery Confirmation.
I wonder if your seller has been selling to Canada for a while and is charging you shipping as if he is sending to you directly rather than to the Kentucky trans-shipment facility?
