Keep in mind that some sellers include their costs for postage and packaging in the asking price of the item.
This is called Free Shipping.
And some will add those costs as a separate line item, especially if distance is a factor which it is for most domestic parcel services.
Also some sellers, for one reason or another, get discounts on their postage costs which may or may not be passed on.
If you want to know how much the item will cost you, use Highest/Lowest Price plus Shipping.
Also.
Items valued at $20Cdn (~$16USD) are subject to assessment for duty and sales taxes. Both are percentages of selling price which is a further complication with auctions, where the buyer cannot know the final price.
Be careful with items that are shipped from the UK or the US with the Global Shipping Program. The actual price at the bottom of your bill will include import fees made up of Canadian sales taxes, Canadian duty, and a small service fee.
The same taxes and duty plus a larger service fee may be charged on your doorstep by Canada Post or by the courier.
And if the courier is FedEx, you may get their bill a week or so later, because they are *bleep*y like that.
If you are confused, come back with specific questions, and we will get really obscure!
