I live in Toronto, used to shop on eBay A LOT in the 2000s, stopped for 5-7 years. Never had to pay import duties, or brokerage charges back then. Recenty, I came back on eBay because I was interested in buying Sports Cards. Purchased two from a US seller (not his fault). DHL charged me $25 dollars and $33 dollars for "import/duty/brokerage" charges. I'm going to try to avoid buying from US sellers now unless the item is a super deal, as the import taxes are enormous, considering I already paid a huge shipping charge to the seller. What happened to free trade between Canada and USA? It's okay, lesson learned, buy from Canadian sellers ONLY....or JUST STAY ON AMAZON!
