Is this a good thing or bad thing for Canadian buyers? I mostly buy from the U.S and I have never been charged any import or any other charges once. How does this affect Canadadians?

I find that ridicuconkillous, specially reading that it will be mandatory.....
If ever implemented in Canada, i will find that a great hurt to sales outside Canada.
As a buyer buying mostly from USA, it will put a stop on me buying from e-bay.
Lets see here :
The way it works now, sellers takes his S&H fee and ships the goods, usually without any trouble crossing border or customs fees. So everyone wins.
The way they want to make it work : Sellers takes his S&H fees and ships, Pitney takes its S&H, processing fees and what not to make money out of it and ships. Thus the buyer paying twice S&H and having to pay custom and duty fees, which normaly would not be paid.... Too many hands in the soup will make the soup turn sour....
yes of course it is a very, VERY bad thing for Canadian Buyers, and a very VERY bad things for american sellers that depend on out of USA sales.
Slowly e-bay killing itself ?
Any word from e-bay about this thread ? Or are they too bowed down to Pitney to notice that they are going the wrong way.
