is this even legal? (ebay)

ok

GST = something all residents pay
PST = Provincial tax
HST = GST + PST

I won an ebay item. I am located in NB. He is located in ON.
He is trying to charge me NB HST when the auction clearly states the following:

Ontario orders will be charged 8% PST and 7% GST.
Rest of Canada 7% GST


No where does it say I have to pay my own provinces PST.

I have already paid him based on just GST and now he wants 6 bux more. I know it's only 6 bux, but it's the fact of the matter. I was not willing to spend more than I did, that is why I made the bid at the price I did.

Legally he is not entitle to my own province's PST part of the HST. Am I right?

I told him via email and on their sales line to either dop the surcharge or I will charge back by monday.


Auction item is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=4132211711


Your thoughts on this? What would you do? Would you pay the 6 bux and let him get away with his little scam? or would you chargeback against a powerseller?
