Answer 2

This question is very similar to mine, so I'd like to forward you to one of mine answerers.

"Oh yes you will. Canada doesn't buy the mark-it-as-a-gift tax dodge. So you will pay the tax on the amount above $60. Hopefully your seller included the eBay auction page so that customs doesn't get the brilliant idea that's worth even more.

(Your US seller is also committing a felony by lying on a government form.)"

I've looked up the web and found a similar explanation; therefore, his answer is everything but invalid. :)

Answer 3

You'll likely have to pay GST, but no duty.
