I just looked at your listing. You are selling a set of 4 McKee Shakers. It says on your listing that you have 4 sets available (16 pieces in total). Is that what you meant? Or is it only 1 set of 4?

You need a tape measure (that is metric) and a digital scale (that uses metric).

Canada Post went metric in 1974. Any other measurement will be wrong.

And don't worry, shipping is the hardest part of selling online.

I got my Starfrit kitchen scale at Canadian Tire for about $20 a few years back. It measures up to 5 kgs.

On the shakers; No shipping price appears so, no, you don't have shipping right.

There is a known disconnect between the Canada Post and the USPS for parcels.

You can check your own by using a US zipcode. Most find 90210 easy to remember.

Fiddle with the dimensions of your parcel until it does appear.

Just don't say it is smaller than it is. The clerks get tetchey about that.

And again-- metric.

You are appearing on the US site, but your potential customers are not seeing their shipping cost, which is a turnoff.

Am I properly posted on eBay.com?

This is eBay dotCA - the Canadian site. You know that right?

The shakers may have a jargon problem.

You are showing one LOT with four parts included.

Do you mean you have four LOTS of four parts each?

If not, use Revise on the top left of your listing to get back to the Sell Your Item (SYI) form and make corrections.

Off topic, femme, but still related to postage ..... don't you have a big auction item coming up? I remember you saying it was in September. Has it happened?

Your item location doesn't say what part of Alberta you are located at, but if I was looking for someone to sell on consignment for me, I'd search items similar to my own and then set the search filter to 'distance: nearest first' and then find other sellers close to me and cold-call them to ask if they might be interested in selling things on my behalf. Be aware this is not cheap.
