I don't have an answer but I totally agree. I seldom have to pay extra customs and taxes, yet they want to collect $30 on the item I am currently looking at.
Sometimes you can't avoid a seller that has something you really want.
Why did eBay do this, especially since it is not optional if the seller offers it??

As a Canadian seller, you cannot opt IN to the program, so the question is invalid.
As a Canadian buyer, you can ask the seller , before bidding, if he is willing to ship by USPS/CanadaPost. If he agrees, be aware that the GSP is sometimes cheaper than the postal system especially for high value goods. (Under $100, not so much.)
The big difference is that GSP/Pitney Bowes always charges the applicable duty and taxes plus their own processing fee, while Canada Post might or might not.
If Canada Post started to consistently charge the duty and tax they are supposed to, it might do wonders for the Canadian treasury. The $10 service fee might help CP's bottom line too.

Why : 1) because you cannot track it properly, why because even if you see the carrier the Global tracking number is not understandable by him. 2) if you had one chance of avoiding the tax at arrival (yes it happens), the GSP kills it.

This is not only costly to buyers but also ridiculously slow. I ended up paying 50% to 100% more than what I used to pay for similar size/weight product from US and it takes much longer without proper tracking. I recently bought few items from sellers with gsp but never again.

Remember, anything that starts on eBay US eventually is applied on eBay Canada as well. Let us stop it now!
I just received an item via GSP that took almost 4 weeks to get here as letter mail instead of the week to 10 days it would normally take.
What a useless and expensive experiment!!!!
