Your post from Saturday read:
"As a buyer there is no advantages only disadvantages. It is expensive, for example on around $40 I paid $20 (50%)for so called import duties which is much higher that the 16% I would pay at the door. The shipping was expensive because the item was light it could have been shipped in an envelope. As far as the follow-up goes I can go on line and see for myself at Canada Post where my item is located II don`t need Pitney Bowes.to send me useless emails.Also it takes much longer once it is shipped..Somebody is making a good profit on top of the import duties..
To keep it short, .I prefer to pay taxes at the door (usually for small amounts I don't) and to deal directly with the seller.I will avoid carefully all sellers who sell through this program. I have spent a lot of money at ebay those last 7 years I will go somewhere else if it is not appreciated. "
The problem with long threads like the "comments" thread (over 5,000 posts) it is easy to have a post appeared to get lost. If you post your comment as a new thread, the monitor will move it to the long "comments" thread because they get paid to do that.

As to the content of your post, you are correct. The Global Shipping Program (GSP) is not Canadian buyer friendly. It was not conceived for low priced items that could easily be shipped by mail (USPS) by American sellers to Canadian buyers.
The GSP exists to entice American sellers who previously sold exclusively within the USA to offer their products (valued at US$50 or more) to international buyers, mostly overseas. Unfortunately many American sellers no not fully understand how the system works and use it when they should not.
As a Canadian buyer you should continue to avoid listings offering the program in most instances.
