It looks like 'ebayshippingsupplies' listed some tape!

Lol, it sold out so quickly, that I didn't even see it when it was active...http://www.ebay.ca/itm/eBay-Branded-BOPP-Packaging-Tape-6-Rolls-75-yards-per-roll-/252350245880.

Once again - as stated last week - this product is available to the USA only. This thread is on eBay-Canada.

Ships to: United States

May not ship to Canada

I find it ironic that the listing is using active content (javascript) for the tabbed terms (Payment, Shipping, Returns etc) and by using those sections is repeating what should only be in the listing sections for Payments and Shipping and returns parts of the eBay listing and so. The listing also promotes other items for the seller also against eBay recommendations. The listing is not mobile friendly either based on eBay recommendations. LOL.

I do know that the supplies are US only. I am just posting a message that they listed it, that's all. It is ok to do that, right?

It is very funny. eBay gets to do whatever they want while the sellers don't...

Ebay owns the site. Sellers are guests. Paying guests, but still guests.

Its Ebays party and they can cry if they want to( coining lyrics from a very bad song) but what about leading by sample. We are always being herded by ebay to what we can or cannot do. They should at least follow their own rules and regulation. My rant for the day. Thank you very much

Is there an advertising discount?

I forgot to mention that the listing has photos in the description. eBay does not recommend photos in the description, especially for mobile.

The listing breaks about every eBay recommendation current and future in the 2016 Spring Seller Update.

How dare you ask for a advertising discount. Don't you know that ebay has spent a fortune to place Ebay logos on that tape so that when people see the Ebay logo on your package they will rush to Ebay's site in a frenzy and buy buy buy. Its not about them making money, its about them making you money!

Just kidding mccrlmn. Just in case you though I was serious

This tape is way overpriced! I get mine for CAD $1.15 per roll at Dollarama. If all their packing supplies are like this, their $25 coupon will be worthless, even in US funds.

It works out to US$2.00 per roll for 75 yards each, which is about 68 meters. How long are the Dollarama rolls?

Please inform me if I am wrong, but what is the big deal about this tape?

I think it is butt ugly, to be honest. As a seller, I prefer clear tape that cannot be seen and as a buyer I often slightly twinge/cringe when I receive a parcel with loud tape.

But I must be wrong? I can't believe how fast this sold? Is this a 'Merica thing?? No offence meant, I am truly head scratching here.
