Default What is wrong with E-bay sellers?

I emailed a seller who is selling the ICF-SW7600GR, asking about shipping
to Canada. His response?

"Hello,
shipping will be $45plus canadian custom and duties.
however brockage fee and taxes must be paid up front."


My response:

"No, no, I didn't mean for same day air. How much for ordinary shipping?"

....

Now I know that he means to charge me $45 + brokerage fees + customs (about
$60) and ship it ground or as a small parcel by air, taking either 4 weeks
or 10 days to deliver, and earning him a tidy profit on just the shipping
costs. I also know that I could ship this same radio to the United States,
in its full box, for $30 Canadian, with delivery within 2-3 days, or $15
with delivery within 10 days.
