I've never paid duty on anything I ever got on eBay from the US, and that's a lot of stuff. And it all arrived in purrfect condition within 10 days or so.
Why not check your local Canadian Tire, and see when they might have a sale? 550s were $449 here a few weeks ago at Cdn Tire.

I checked Canadian Tire and they don't carry that model here.....just the older models.....they may be getting out because of the cost and competitiveness.
Future Shop was on sale for $480 plus both taxes =~$550
Best Buy was $600 plus both taxes.
Oh well, hopefully my ebay order clears the border with no issues and no added expense.

Having used eBay for various things, the only time they'll ding you for duty is if the seller marks product as being from somewhere other than the US or Mexico. They tried doing that to me, I refused the shipment. They wanted $75 for an item worth $30.
You might get dinged paying the tax on whatever the declared value is. Most reputable sellers will declare it was a gift, which generally avoids taxes and duty.

Shizi, I wanted to recommend Tigerdirect.ca. I never would order anything online without checking them first especially now that they ship from a toronto wearhouse.

Also, as noted above NEVER EVER let usp ship an order unless your despirate. Bad things will happen, and you'll PAY for it.
Actually, checking now that model is at the u.s. store not the Canadian one. Clowns.
