Canada’s customs laws make it difficult for eBay users to buy and sell across borders. Our “de minimis threshold” is set at $20, which means we’re responsible for paying duties and taxes on international purchases worth more than $20. Our threshold -- set in the 1980’s -- is out of step internationally: the US threshold is US$800!
Canada’s low de minimis threshold makes shopping more expensive and creates red tape for entrepreneurs. It also costs taxpayers money because the government spends more to enforce the law than it actually collects at the border. Learn more.
eBay Canada believes that our laws should reduce burdens on consumers, entrepreneurs, and taxpayers. If you agree, please sign our letter to Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
Participation is easy. Together, we can make a difference.

Signed and sent as well. That $20 limit is why I don't buy ANYTHING from the US. I hope this petition is successful. I have given up on Ebay because the stuff from China seems to get "lost in transit" much more frequently than it used to, or it breaks, or the item is misrepresented in Ebay's description. I don't trust the process anymore because I've been burnt too many times.

The govt have very little interest in raising the limit as they collect the HST and want to encourage us to buy in Canada.
There is another one doing the rounds to at least tie the amount to the US exchange since it effectively lower than when set
