i guess the Merchant had the item listed in US Dollars not Canadian, eBay Canada has that option.

For some Canadian merchants, like ourselves, it makes more sense to charge in USD as most of our customers are in the US. At the very least, the merchant should make it clear throughout their store that currency is in USD. If a customer does want to pay in CAD then they should contact the merchant. If the merchant uses a Virtual Terminal, they can accept CAD if the customer asks AND if the mercahnt wants to accept CAD.
