Long story short...I bought NEW MACHINE a 'Doctor Who: Companions' book on eBay for $3.50 + shipping to Canada like $9 something...I get package two weeks later -- they put value of item $100  eek2

So Canada Customs sees this and charges me $23.54 on item!  grindteeth

So I email the seller and let him know book arrived, looks great and will leave feedback (positive) but just wanted to let him know this. On top of saying he would taken item back and refund it if I want, he writes:

That was an error (the value on item fiulled out) that my wife will pay for dearly

Yikes! Oh my!  eek2

Well, then you have to claim a value on the goods and I always put $0.  None of my shipees have ever had a problem.  scratch
