Updates regarding UPS shipping
Summary: A participant announced that UPS has implemented a demand surcharge of $2.00 CAD on all parcels within its Canadian network starting December 8, 2024, due to increased shipment volumes. This surcharge is reflected in eBay Labels from December 10, 2024. Customers who purchased UPS labels between December 8 and 9 are exempt from this additional charge. Furthermore, UPS has suspended on-call pickups for Domestic Standard shipments since December 4, 2024, while on-call pickups for Air and International shipments remain available. Sellers can still take advantage of discounted UPS and FedEx shipping rates through eBay Labels. eBay is monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as needed.
