I spend a good part of my work explaining such tax issues to clients. On auction sales, Canadian tax authorities have an effective means of collecting such sales taxes in that if arriving by mail, Canada Post collects the taxes, and if shipped to the US, a Canadian must declare and pay the sales tax at the border (unless an exemption for duty exists, such as being away from Canada for 48 hours or longer)when bringing back the goods.
