About: Right Pricing
I have spent much time figuring out how to come up with what would be "just" prices. (And, yes, I spent a lot of time trying to define to myself what I mean by "just".) I hope that I have so done by coming up with prices that reflect material and relative time costs. I hope that you find them fair.

One Price For All
One of things that unsettles me about on-line buying is the fact that people who don't live in the same province or country actually get tax breaks. It is a reality we live in but I am -- oh so very much -- not convinced about this as a concept.
My way of addressing this is to give price breaks to fellow Canadians (equal to the GST) and an additional price break to fellow Quebec residents (equal to the PST).
This means that the price that you see indicated is the total price (minus shipping) that you end up paying regardless of whether or not we share province or country.
I hope that this makes sense.

Currency
Prices are indicated in Canadian dollars but multiple currencies are accepted through PayPal. XE.com's Universal Currency Converter pop-up is available on all item description pages to give you an idea of the final price in the currency of your choice.

PayPal
PayPal is a wonderful, secure intermediary between buyers and sellers. (Certainly if you are an eBay person you know of this and likely already have your account with them.) PayPal accepts multiple forms of payment, in multiple currencies and keeps records of all of your on-line transactions made through their service. There is a minimal fee to register with PayPal if you are an "international" (i.e. non-US) customer but this is a one time only cost.
As a buyer I find using PayPal reassuring given that credit card or banking information never goes to the seller. And, as a seller I enjoy this service given that PayPal looks after dealing with multiple forms of payment and allows payment in different currencies.
Please check out the PayPal site for more information about this.
