Greetings. I'm sorry, but I am not only confused as to WHY you are doing this (even after reading your 'reasons') and imposing only Cdn $ listings on eBay.ca, but I am quite upset about it. Focus groups told you it was a great idea? Really? I've attended many focus groups over the years, and take my word for it, many people at them don't give a **bleep** about giving good, strategic, important feedback and info. They are there for the quick cash. No lie. I think this is a big mistake frankly, and you are doing this based on very flawed info/research, at the end of the day. Law of unintended consequences may come into play perhaps.
Why did you not send out a survey to active Canadian sellers like myself to respond to before making this major change, which will be very problematic in many ways, to many of us? Wouldn't have cost you much to do that? After all, we are the ones paying the fees, right? On either site, and Paypal too. And then move forward with that information, included/taken into account at least? Most motivated and caring sellers like myself would have responded no doubt. Might have given you a better overall view of it, as I'm sure we are all very 'different' in a myriad of ways.
I do my best to find rare, OOAK vintages, antiques and old toy items to bring to your customers & shoppers. I'm not a massive seller, but I try hard. I RARELY sell anything to Canadians, sadly. We are used to exchanging rates etc, but the US $ is the 'standard' frankly. And sadly, many Americans are not 'well versed' in doing the same. No matter WHAT the listing says. Many UK/EU buyers only want to buy in US funds.
First I answered the questions on your site re the subject, a 'flow chart' type thing and it said I should sell on US site. Then I called and spoke to someone a week or so ago. He advised me not to worry about it. In 'my case' I would still be able to list items on eBay.ca in US $. I said are you sure? He said absolutely, don't worry! Just keep doing what you're doing. So is this correct, or not? I am very confused.
Lastly, I have tried to find info about HOW to sell on eBay.com. To no avail. It was all as clear as MUD. Do I have to create a different account? Will I have my info/100% fb rating 'carried over' somehow to .com? Please let me know exactly what the procedure is for creating new listings on US site. Thank you.
And I really hope cooler heads will prevail, you will be open to listening to your vendors/customers/us, and this seemingly horrific idea will be given a big RE-THINK! Or at least give us the OPTION to choose which currency we want to list in. How difficult can it be to do that? 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' old axiom comes to mind!
Regards,
Alison
