I just noticed effective Jan 1, 2023 ebay is charging an additional 7% on fees not just the correct 5% GST in my province. I can only think 7% is PST. From my PST knowledge I understand PST is charged on tangible goods (can touch) and services to tangible items except for legal fees. Is this correct and if so why has there not been a bulletin since this would be a Canada wide impact? Is ebay thinking the ebay fees which i consider to be 'administrative fees' as forming the cost of the tangible item sold where they correctly charge both GST/PST? An ebay rep was based in Filipinnes then I got transferred to a guy in the US so both knew absolutely nothing. What is going on ebay as there should be some justification if you are going to charge sellers more.

If that's the case, you're right that there should have been an announcement. Where are you seeing this and would you mind showing an example?

Was this charge for a sale/shipment from being shipped within Canada?
