    ebay pisses me off

    I hate how canadian sellers sell in US funds, as well, charge 7% tax, in US funds! Bastards. Not to mention, they make a nice profit off shipping.


    Suddenly that steal of a deal 10 dollar item becomes 30 dollars.

              People make good profits off of their inflated "guestimates".

              I think it's bullshit, but hey, that's eBay.

                                          I managed to get a xbox DVD playback kit for $22.32 USD with 4 day shipping. If it doesn't come within 5 biz days. I will charge back. I paid extra for it. The remote kit would be $50 CAD if bought in stores. So I saved some money here for sure.

                                          Got a Dream Theater DVD for $17.57 USD. Prolly could have gotten it locally for $25 CAD. Just about even, a bit cheaper with ebay. Shipping was 4$ USD. Fucking duty and tax will probably murder me though on this. I requested he mark as gift. If he doesn't. I will chargeback and not accept the package If he does mark as gift yet I still get hit with duties and taxes, I will pay for it but curse like a mad man about it.

                                          I am seconds away from winning a 450 watt peak car subwoofer. Bid is $10 USD. Shipping is $14 USD. Plus 7%GST. for a $25.68 total. That's wicked for a fucking subwoofer. I would be paying $50 for a used one locally from a crummy illegal place called "Shaky's". No duties on this item since it's a Canadian seller.


                                          So moral of story is, you only save money by ebaying providing the seller is fair with shipping costs.

                                                  Why is it that when people bring shit up that has a negative tone to it there is always haters like you that scream "stop whining" christ... Can't a person bitch about anything?

                                                          Yeah I know how that is. Couple .01 cent auctions with $20 shipping. But I knew about the shipping before hand.

                                                              You are quoting me in the wrong context. I said "I hate how canadian sellers sell in US funds, as well, charge 7% tax, in US funds!"

                                                              Point being, They are taxing on a different exchange rate. It may bot add up to much, but it does for larger items.

                                                                  A lot of people don't realize this, I have known this since my first item purchased 4 years ago. I find it funny how I see bidders fighintg over a 2 dollar item, that has 40 bux shipping, that can be bought locally for 30 bux, and the listings they bid on are listed as "untested - does not work - for parts only" on items that are unrepairable.

                                                                      And of course if an auction is in US funds, why would taxes be charged in Canadian funds?

                                                                          "you only save money by ebaying providing the seller is fair with shipping costs."


                                                                          A lot of people don't realize this, I have known this since my first item purchased 4 years ago. I find it funny how I see bidders fighintg over a 2 dollar item, that has 40 bux shipping, that can be bought locally for 30 bux, and the listings they bid on are listed as "untested - does not work - for parts only" on items that are unrepairable.
                                                                          It's probably true with low value items, you're better off buying it retail, but it's the more expensive items where you save money.

                                                                                      Point being, They are taxing on a different exchange rate. It may bot add up to much, but it does for larger items.
                                                                                      the tax has to be calculated in the same currency as the auction price. if it's calculated in a different currency, it's not 7%.

                                                                                      7% USD tax on $100 USD = $7 USD = $9.38 CDN (rate of 1.34)

                                                                                      if you're buying something for $100 USD, 7% of that is $7 USD, no matter what currency you calculate taxes in.

She sent me another one 2 weeks into it to make up for it and told me to refuse it if the first one came. The first one came 4 weeks AFTER I got the second one. it was stuck in customs and I had a bill for 30 bux on a 15 dollar item. So i refused it and all ended well.

                                                                                          At least she was willing to correct the problem. It would have been nice to get the shipping fee refunded though.

However, I just realzied that it doesn't matter as a bank is not involved at any point. Even when the seller moves his paypal money to his bank account, it is done with ebay/paypal exchange rates.

I think the guy is fuckin me over though I got one email from him right after i won the auction saying that it would be a while because of customs. I have emailed him since to ask for a trackin number but he never responded. I wouldnt be so concerned but he only had 5 transactions and i was his first sell. I guess it was the five dollar discount i got winning his auction instead of buying it from a website. O well if i get fucked i get fucked, I earned it

If it doesn't come within 5 biz days. I will charge back. I paid extra for it. The remote kit would be $50 CAD if bought in stores. So I saved some money here for sure.

                                                                                                              Got a Dream Theater DVD for $17.57 USD. Prolly could have gotten it locally for $25 CAD. Just about even, a bit cheaper with ebay. Shipping was 4$ USD. Fucking duty and tax will probably murder me though on this. I requested he mark as gift. If he doesn't. I will chargeback and not accept the package If he does mark as gift yet I still get hit with duties and taxes, I will pay for it but curse like a mad man about it.

                                                                                                              I am seconds away from winning a 450 watt peak car subwoofer. Bid is $10 USD. Shipping is $14 USD. Plus 7%GST. for a $25.68 total. That's wicked for a fucking subwoofer. I would be paying $50 for a used one locally from a crummy illegal place called "Shaky's". No duties on this item since it's a Canadian seller.

I personally charge exact shipping plus %5 handling since gas and time costs me.

I really hate it when sellers charge a "handling" fee and classify it as postage and then you look at the cost on the package and see how much extra bling they scrounged off ya.
