Here is eBay's vehicle purchase protection plan. It shows what is and what is not covered.

There is no duty if the boat was manufactured in Canada, US or Mexico , otherwise 6-9 %. GST/HST and provincial taxes charged as applicable to your province. Here are some links..

Listing should state deposit requirements or contact the seller. A major purchase should be inspected/tested before final payment and taking ownership.
