Why products like lens are more expensive ?

[rickl1964]

 Why does camera lens are more expensive on Ebay then buying in the store....?

Ex in Canada Ontario at Henrys Sigma 18-250mm lens sells for $379 plus Tax = 429CDN

In the US it sells for $349 US .

But your website shows  all vendors are selling between 500 to 700$ US dollars for the same thing.

Why is Ebay update their vendors or notify them ? Right now I lost faith on your website and even my colleagues ..

Lots of these lenses are listed for less than $350.00

Some people don't have stores handy and it is cheaper

to buy of ebay.

Don't like the Price then don't BID.

Sellers set their own prices.

Shops sometimes have sales.

Retail businesses can buy in bulk reducing their costs.

Some buyers are in isolated communities and do not have access to the shops that a city dweller does.

Some items are mis-described.

Some buyers believe that the higher the price, the better the quality.

Some sellers are dreaming in technicolour.
