eBay Canada started in 2000 and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010.
Until then Canadians were registered on eBay.com
Until 2002 they could register on either site
From 2002 (or 2003) Canadians can only register on eBay.ca (later on eBay.cafr when the French version was created)
All Canadians, like all international users, can use eBay.com or any other eBay sites to buy or sell, regardless where registered.
Since you registered in 1999, you registered on eBay.com and are considered a "legacy user".

The Internet way back time machine has the first recorded page of eBay.ca as November 9, 2000. This may not be the day eBay.ca opened but just the first day eBay.ca was looked at and the web page copied.
Here is the link to eBay.ca in year 2000. The web page is partially functional so you can browse some sections. You can also look at some other dates from 2000 on.

My god, eBay was so simple back then I can still remember that format as I use to shop through my friends ID.
I didn't have a desktop computer as of yet..... thanks for sharing.
