Default Be aware of CA shipping through eBay

Really has nothing to do with tarriffs, duties, or anything else. Just FedEx being crooks.

I got hit hard a package of sealed Japanese Pokemon cards a few years ago. $175 worth of cards, $70 fee.
I think it’s the actual tariff. They included a photocopy of the customs sheet with the bill, and it says right on there it’s a 35% duty charged on item price.

I’m confused how it’s gonna play out. If it was a wrongly charged tariff, and it sounds like it may have been, FedEx presumably already paid it, putting me in a pickle. It also could be a problem if eBay AG itself in Canada put wrong info onto the customs form (sounds like they did- says the item was manufactured in Canada which is false). So as brought up in another thread, my beef could actually be with eBay here.

Can you imagine the insanity at eBay right now…if tons of people are being hit with these kinds of large unexpected bills. It’s strange how FedEx operates and sends it weeks after delivery. Going out on a limb here and wonder how many people don’t even pay it.
