USA to CANADA

I want to purchase 2 pieces of clothing from a US seller. He is using USPS priority mail. I’ve been trying to do research for the last hour.

Some sources say that duties/customs rarely applies when it comes to USPS to Canada post.

His shipping prices are quite high, which is why the extra fees are confusing and a concern.

The listings don’t indicate that the customs/duty fees are included. I even tried to go to check out see if they would be mentioned.

Also, seller wants me to purchase the items individually which would mean I would pay shippingx2.

I asked him a bunch of questions and starting to feel like a hassle. When I inquired about the steep cost of shipping he replied: “That’s the cheapest option I’m given from ebay”

Could someone enlighten me please?

Thank You
