Question for Management on selling in US dollars

[artofpatents]

I have sold on Ebay since 1999, I have always enjoyed selling in US dollars as that is where almost 90% of my customers are.  I also buy most of my items from the USA so I enjoy spending my US dollars I earn on Ebay with out have to pay the exchange from CDN to USA dollars.  During COVID Canadians were once again allowed to get 10,000 free listings not only for use on CDN and CDN French but also on USA.  My question to management is why not let us continue to list the 10,000 listings on the com site, and in USD.  Why force us back to only listing in CDN dollars when for almost 9 months in 2020 it was ok to list in USD. Thank you for your consideration.

1999 a veteran, we have 2 accounts, one registered on canada site in cad and another registered on the usa site in usd. Different from posting from canada in usd. (in 1999 there was only usa site so must have account registered there) .. this way you should see the promos for usa site. Without a store I see " List 200 of Your Items for FREE – Make Money Today!"

"On August 8th, we announced a significant increase in zero insertion fees for fixed price listings in select categories on ebay.ca and cafr.ebay.ca for sellers with store subscriptions. "

Yep. Looks like if you want 10,000 or 100,000 "free" listings, you have to subscribe to a Store, which you do,  and be selling in the categories eBay wants more listings in.

I believe one of those is Collectibles.  Are your collectibles listed as a subset of that category or as something else?

I know I can list sewing patterns as Crafts or as Collectibles and that can make a difference.

Thank you for your response I have been away from my computer. I always list in Collectibles. During COVID ebay for the first time allowed us to sell with 10,000 free listings on .com so obviously in USA dollars. As of Jan that has been removed. Yes I still have 100,000 and 10,000 but its for CA not com......anymore. People I know who have signed up for Managed Payments and have a USA bank account still get 10,000 and some 50,000
