Hi, Guest
It's totally over the top, but then again they can charge whatever they want.. you just dont have to buy it from them. There are a lot of ebay sellers that inflate their shipping like crazy, you really have to watch out for that. If you can find an auction from a seller in Canada, then you're set.. or if not, look for a seller from the US who ships with USPS and lists his shipping cost as something reasonable.
Also a lot of ebay sellers want to list their items at a lower price so they hide their profits by listing crazy high shipping fees. It's a way the sellers are trying to get around ebay's seller fees (percentage of the selling price).. You're more likely to click on something that says "$9.99" and has some $20 shipping fee in the description than something listed for $29.99.
Also never ever bid on an item when the shipping costs arent listed clearly in the item description.
