I have updated my chart because there have been so many changes since Jan. Perhaps jasmen@ebay could remove the Jan chart which is pinned and put this one in its place.
Hi All, I ship a lot of my items using Canada Post Lettermail. I always ship on time and have been dinged here and there for late delivery (as per the buyer as there is no tracking) I noticed a trend. I live in Ottawa and it seems every time this hap...
Started last night, payments were about 30 minutes late, now this morning, i am seeing over an hour behind and still counting. Is this because of the way they did the tax thing, and it is slowere getting out of Paypal. It was coming within seconds, o...

Hi: Does anyone know how I can get a list of Item specifics for DVDs and Books. I am particularly interested in Genre and Sub Genres, but would like to know them all.
Last year for the month of October 2018 I sold 65 CD's, this year 25. At this rate, I will be closing up shop soon. I am also trying different venues to see if I can drum up some sales. I know I am not the only one that is in this boat. Once the sell...
This is the 2nd package in the past few months that the Hong Kong PO cannot deliver as addressee unknown. I sent it to the paypal address, looks like another one will be lost. I am thinking of not having Hong Kong as one of the areas I ship to, It is...

Has anyone has luck getting invoices over 18 months old? I find it's odd when everyone has to be able to produce 7 years of history in Canada eBay can only give me 18 months. I've called in several times and I keep getting told I'll have them in 24 h...
I had 14 listings 'fail' to auto-relist last night when they ended. I immediately suspected this had something to do with the new nonsense fields ebay has added under Item Specifics but it's more insidious than that. (See https://community.ebay.ca/t5...
Is it possible to add items to an existing markdown/sale? I can't seem to find that option or maybe there isn't one. Thanks!!
Is anyone else having trouble saving drafts when using a MacBook (latest OS)? Since yesterday (Oct. 29), when I click "save draft", the reticulating circle pops up on the screen but never completes the save...just stays that way for infinity. I've tr...

Some of my US buyers have no idea how much the CAD $ is worth.My items are listed in CAD$ on the .ca site. Even though prices appear in US$ on the .com site, when US buyers go to make an offer, it asks for CAD $. I've had to explain to them (when the...
I just may start looking for other online 'stores' as many ebay sellers are getting ridiculous with sending annoying emails wanting feedback. Isn't this a voluntary program? Why all this 'neediness' for self aggrandizement. If a seller doesn't give m...

So, I don't sell many packages within Canada, postage is too high, just a few letter mail. So, I didn't expect to use any free Tuesday CP shipping.True to form, 4 Tuesday's go by with nothing. Then today I get THREE Canadian packages, so I get to use...

I read that you get free promotion credits? Is this true? Anything else?I find it difficult to know how I achieved top rated status, what the benefits are, and it seems easy to lose it with one or two bad transactions....Does anyone even really care?
Just to let all know to be sure to check the currency conversion from US to Canadian $$ on your . com listing when you send an offer to a watcher. On .com I lowered the price of an item from $50 US to $45 US, but the Canadian $$ was shown as $34.44 a...
In the "good old days" eBay.ca has always recommended listing in US$ instead of Cdn$ on the basis that Canadian sellers would have more chance of success listing in US$. Times are changing. Today, during the Weekly Board Hour, eBay.ca advises: "In a ...
A note that I'm a stamps on the box kinda guy, so I have all the rate tables printed off to figure out my postage costs. Today sent something to Mauritius. The small packet code for them is "10" (code 10 also includes the likes of North Korea, Syria,...
Had a dream last night that instead of the shipping supplies coupon we currently receive it would be replaced by a coupon for "gummies" but in very limited flavours. I guess if that is not to your personal preference, Just say no to "gummies" !! -Lot...
