Outside of this program, most items (95%) shipped through regular means will not get stopped by customs and will not have extra duties and taxes added to them, that's just my experience and I buy a fair amount on ebay.
I can speak from experience as I am also located in Canada.
Also not sure if you are accessing ebay.ca or ebay.com but note that some US sellers on ebay.com will not ship to Canada. So it's safer to view items on ebay.ca but understand the selection, especially for baseball, will be smaller. You still see US sellers on ebay.ca, but only those that are willing to ship to Canada.

Thanks for the info, Ray Van, I did not know that about Global shipping.
Still learning, hopefully not the hard way with those 2 cards I purchased last night.

Serious answer, chad.......... I am new here and new to all this card trading/bidding/E-Bay thing so if you'll excuse my ignorance and bear with me a while, I'll eventually learn and hopefully someday I'll be as smart as you?
