Default Fees are fees.....

You deal with Ebay and Pay Pal they have you by the short hair.....

why is it that when the Canadian dollars is at $104.95 they still charge you a conversion rate to convert to US dollars....?? not even accepted at PAR....

Why is it an item is sold at $100 in the US and sold at $139 Cdn in Canada when our dollars is worth more.....?

What about buying a $5 item that can be shipped anywhere in the USA for $14.00 but the seller charges a flat fee fo $20.00 ....?

Just have to add these $$$ fees to realize the real cost.

I found some real savings can be made by having a regualr mailing address at a local ...across the border....UPS store...... you save on shipping and sometimes on custom PST/GST when you forget to declare expensive small items.

90% of the business done by the UPS store in Ogdensburg, NY is with Canadians.
