U.S eBay

I found a Toyworld Hegemon for 99$ + 15.50$ shipping, which brings it to 115.50$. So now the 115.50$ is it USD or CAN? I've never bought from US members, when buying from the States, through eBay, do they go to Customs?

Re: U.S eBay

If it's on US eBay, that'd be in US dollars.

US eBay also charges the duties and such right from the get go for orders being shipped to Canada.

Re: U.S eBay

it's generally a safe bet that sellers will ask for the "coin of the realm" if the seller is in the U.S., he or she will want USD

Re: U.S eBay

It's 115.50$ USD used. And the sellers states this in the item description:

Original release of Toyworld Hegemon. Includes additional parts for the weapon mode and sword, that other releases do not include. I also have FireFair upgrade kit in a seperate auction. If you buy this, I can throw that in for free. Displayed only. Item is in excellent condition.

Re: U.S eBay

that seems really expensive especially if its shipped via global shipping program, which will add another $15 usd in import fees.

I think I sold my open box one for about 80 or 90 cad

Re: U.S eBay

A lot of people jack up their price on eBay, for example this guy has Takara MP-11 Thundecracker for 590$. Like really buddy? what are you trying to accomplish with that price? A lot of people there are on crack

That is one of the unfortunate side effects of EBay not charging sellers for listing/relisting anymore (except in certain cases).

With no cost to the seller, there is no incentive to try and move product, but rather they can just keep relisting items at inflated prices hoping someone will eventually buy their item.

Same thing happens a lot on Kijiji.

Re: U.S eBay

You can view the same item in any currency you want.
eBay.ca = CAD
ebay.com = USD
ebay.co.uk = GBP
eBay.au = AUD

Type in the item number into any of the sites and it will display it in the appropriate currency.
