We may need a bit more of an explanation of what exactly you are seeing to comment.

Do you mean when you go to buy something in a different currency?

If you are buying on a different site, the currency exchange between the site the seller listed on, and the Canadian dollar fluctuates constantly.

  • The sooner you pay after ordering, the less likely there will be a currency change.

If you are buying at auction, the price you win at, and the price you bid will likely differ, but usually lower.

  • However if the Auctioneer is in Canada and registered for sales taxes, the amount you pay will differ from province to province.

If your seller is using Calculated Shipping, the shipping cost will differ depending on your location. It may also differ depending on which services the seller allows you to choose.

 

However  there are some scumbags sellers who will list a variety of items together but only one (and not necessarily the first pictured) is priced at the lowest price.

  • for example the picture is of a blouse, but the price is for a ribbon. Do NOT continue with these sketchy sellers.

Your not ordering something with Global Shipping are you? Does it say something like "Import Charges" etc? Because those auctions do have a change of price as the system calculates tax, duty, shipping for eBays partner to ship the item to you.

This website shows free shipping... also why does the price change to over $9.00 cdn when you go to purchase it?  Even considering the exchange rate, etc., it makes no sense to me.  Please explain.

I don't see it that way. What's your postal code? You might be beyond the 'free' parameters.

Also, check feedback.

To answer your $1.99 question, that would be the item that's sold-out. This is a multi-variation listing. Also, I personally would not expect to spend $2 on a top with free shipping from overseas and get any other than a used hanky for my time and effort. Caveat emptor.

I see free shipping as well.

The $1.99 item isn't out of stock in size L but it is definitely not a tshirt.

Actually, I was ordering at one price with free shipping and then Ebay tacks on numerous other charges as well as I observe the prices changing upward to such an extent it is not just a reasonable adjustment for the exchange rate .    Seems unusual to me and I wonder why this happens   Thank you
