I dont think I did, it was quite a while ago though. If you cant find a Canadian seller on ebay, look for an American seller that will ship using USPS (not UPS or FedEx). You really have to watch out on ebay auctions for car stuff, they sometimes put the shipping price up really high to make up for their low auction selling price (it's a way they avoid paying ebay higher fees). Definitely email the seller and ask about Canadian shipping prices, and whether they'll ship it USPS before you bid.
The value of the item is fairly low so it should pass through customs without any fees, the worse you'll have is paying taxes (GST/PST) on the value and an extra $5 handling fee.
