IDENTICAL ITEMS IN CALIFORNIA : DIFF. SELLERS : DIFF. SHIPPING CHARGES : DIFF. IMPORT CHARGES!! WHY?

ONE open-box Panasonic cam from California eBay seller.

SAME MODEL open-box Panasonic cam from a different eBay seller.

Item prices are VERY CLOSE.

Shipping fees from one seller are $21 MORE than the other.

Import charges to Canada charged by the eBay seller with the lower shipping charge are $19 MORE than the other seller.

Makes no sense. What is going on here?

(1) Why are eBay sellers in the same US state allowed to charge VERY DIFFERENT shipping fees for the same model item shipped to the same address in Canada?

(2) Why are US eBay sellers allowed to charge VERY DIFFERENT Import charge for the same item shipped to the same address in Canada?

PLEASE! Respond ONLY if you have actual facts that explain these discrepancies. I have received enough OPINIONS that explain nothing.  🙂   tnx

The same reason as why you'd see one thing being sold at Walmart for one price and at Safeway for a different price. Even these retailers have different shipping charges for their online sales.
