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.
You'd chargeback over stuff like that? Damn, being an ebay seller must suck..
