7% USD tax on $100 USD = $7 USD = $9.38 CDN (rate of 1.34)
7% CDN tax on $100 USD = $7 CDN = less than 7% of total price.
if you're buying something for $100 USD, 7% of that is $7 USD, no matter what currency you calculate taxes in.

You're right but I was thinking it was different because the exchange rates on ebay is different than banking rates. 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.
