Here is the list according to CRA

How it relates to items shipped. Paid for in full between December 14, 2024 and February 15, 2025

Generally, deliveries to consumers (such as most online shopping) are shipped on behalf of the seller. This means we consider those items delivered when the item arrives at the destination address.

However, under a special rule included in the proposed measure, if a supplier:

• Uses a shipping service (common carrier or consignee) for delivery on behalf of the recipient, we consider the item to have been delivered to the recipient at the time the supplier transfers the item to the shipping service
• Sends the item by mail or courier to the recipient, we consider the item to have been delivered to the recipient at the time the supplier mails the item or transfers it to the courier

It will be interesting to see if eBay etc have ducks in a row when this kicks in and/or turns off.
