ive used 195 of my 200 free listings on ebay.ca but ebay.com has another 200 free but when i try to relist through ebay.com it pulls me back to ebay.ca ... if i try to make a listing on ebay.com it asks for a zip code and wont let me post 

 

is there a trick to use the free listings on ebay.com ?

 

sorry if this has been asked before .. ive tryed searching but no luck

I only recommended the sell similar to bring up you old ad up on .ca so you could use it for copy-paste purposes to your new ad (in a different browser tab) on .com

 

The new ad on .com shouldn't be asking for a ZIP code except when you try to use calculated shipping (or if eBay thinks you are going to use GSP). Where in the listing is it asking for a ZIP code?

used all my free listings on ebay.ca and have more free listings on ebay.com

so when i make a new ad on ebay.com at the bottom of the shipping it asks for an item location :

 

Item location  Item location help
Kingston, ON, K7r5y6, Canada
Change location- opens in a new window or tab
Please enter a valid Zip Code
 

 

 

 
 .... never mind just figured it out 
 
the .com was set on auction .. i swiched fixed price and eveything worked ( the item is being offered as free shipping so i flat rate the postage ) 
 
so now i can post the items for free on .Com
 
thanks for all the help

You can't relist from eBay.CA to eBay.COM -- you have to start fresh.

 

If transferring I use sell similar on the item I want to move. In another tab I start listing on .com and copy and paste the info that's not changing.

 

-.-

 

You can not use calculated shipping on eBay.COM -- you can only use it if shipping from the USA.

You have to select one of the flat rate choices.

Both BIN and auction should still work without a "Zip" code issue.

 

However...  I decided to check the postal code you gave (K7R5Y6) and the Canada Post website says: The postal code cannot be found

 

So if eBay checked the Canada Post database the "Zip" code is indeed "incorrect" -- not sure why BIN works when auction did not.
