Why global shipping, charging customs etc where no charge was before

[chappy_keith]

What a master scam. I have purchased always ask for USPS, and only paid custom dutys once. You can bet I will not be buying from any sellers using Global shipping....As we are all aware that used or parts built under NATFA usually don't carry duty charges.

You echo my sentiments exactly. Someone in the loop is getting a cut that was previously not there. I too will not buy from anyone using the GSP if they will not ship using the postal system as well. It is what it is.

Global shipping does not charge duty.

They charge the taxes that Canada Customs would charge

if the item was over $20.00 Canadian and a small handling fee

compared to $9.95 charged by Canada Customs.

I've purchased hundreds of items in the $30-$100 range and never been charged by Customs. This is a fee scam, plain and simple. ebay needs to learn to leave things well enough alone.
