[QUOTE="Retro, post: 475331, member: 37517"] I've found that eBay works great as long as you don't have any problems, and don't need to contact them. I've spent what seemed like an endless amount of time on their 'Customer Service' pages trying to find out how to contact them. It's like Mr. Bean confused in a roundabout. They intentionally make it hard. If a Canadian (me) buys from a Global Shipping Program seller, Pitney Bowes charges you (it looks like a second purchase on the order) for Canada Customs taxes and duties. When your Socket 939 proc arrives and it's an AM2 because the seller mislabled the listing, you send it back and get an easy refund (I did), but who gives back the $43 in Canadian taxes? Not eBay. Not the seller. Do you want to print out every digital document relating to the purchase, taxes paid, returned shipping substantiation, refund substantiation, etc. and go downtown to the Canada Customs office and wait in line for an hour, and then spend 20 minutes trying to explain everything to an officer who doesn't want to give you any money then wait for them to consult with their superiors to get $43 back? Better to avoid GSP sellers altogether. I don't buy from any US company that collects taxes and duties for the Canadian government. Morons. [/QUOTE]
