I’ve purchased items from overseas like many on here. I spoke to an auto part importer that was in Canada for a differential that they had. That was to be shipped on a pallet to my house, so I paid them using PayPal for everything. All they had to do was provide me a tracking number and we were done.
Nope.
They call me asking for my social security number or a registered business number. I can’t think of the exact name right now but it wasn’t an EIN. Anyway, they would not ship me the parts without either of those things.
They also wanted a ridiculous restocking fee since it was already wrapped up and on a pallet.
PayPal got me my money back same day as I called and the sales rep I dealt with left a whiny ass voicemail.

Google same as above but for whatever system Canada uses
Use PayPal and don’t be a cheapass. Pay the goods and services fee.
If you have to ask, then it’s probably too good to be true.
