Shipping to Germany
Has anyone found an economical way to ship small items to Germany? Under 20.00. In testing the listing the system only is allowing for CP (which would be blocked) and Fedex Intl Economy at almost 100 CAD. They wanted UPS but that discounted service is NOT included. Germany is still on the Suspended Service list so in practice CP should NOT be available. Suspended Service Destinations Canada Post lists complete or partial service suspensions to the following countries: Austria Belarus Belgium Czech Republic (Czech Rep.) Cuba Denmark Finland France Germany Haiti Iran Korea, North (Democratic People's Republic) Libya Luxembourg Portugal Russia Somalia Sudan Syria West Bank and Gaza Strip Yemen [ 1 ] @devon@ebay Where are the Intl shipping options for shipping outside of eBay? Based on eBay's Calculator tool the ONLY other discounted option is Fedex. In testing the eBay Calculator tool it is ONLY showing USPS as an option. Do Canadian and US sellers no longer have access to intl shipping outside of eBay with a discounted rate??

Selling to USA and Canada with NO EIS involvement
Okay, so I tried EIS, and people in USA were sending parcels back, since eBay uses UPS to ship across the border from the EIS hub. So they would get an email statingthey owed like $35 or 40 on a simple $30 item. So I opted back out. I set up my own rate scale and business policies for USA using Zonos to pay the tariff on my end and a Canada Post label so that it shipped directly across to the USA without border fees. This works! So my business policy has weight classes, 3 of them, and I charge a certain amount for each. I have Canada Post Lite, CP tracked package, Canada Post Regular parcel and Canada Post expedited as USA buyer options. If and when a Sale goes through, the buyer selected say Canada Post Tracked packet (which is mostly the weight class I sell in), BUT it automatically comes up ONLY showing UPS and Fedex on my ebay labels. Fine! But not fine. ** So fine, I go to Zonos manually, pay the tariff fee on my end, go to CP and buy a label on Snapship, it ships and all is well, even if it is a hassle. BUT, on the USA eBay site for my business it flashes a HUGE warning, Tariff and duty fees may apply at border, may take two weeks to deliver! So people are scared off. Could you not have an option somewhere to TOGGLE whether a seller uses THEIR OWN WAY to manage tariffs and Canada Post so we can assure them there will be no fees? They are literally scared right off with that big flashy warning on all of our items. Just like you have a toggle to use EIS or not, can we not have the option to use our own Zonos and Canada Post option or however you word it? There is zero issue for small sellers like me to use Zonos and Canada Post, I have zero problems because CP hands off the parcels with prepaid tariff directly to USPS, and UPS is not involved or Fedex etc. Another issue is, even if it's a Canadian sale, eBay does not show Canada Post shipping, how come? For any Canadian sale it should automatically show the Canada Post shipping label and my discount rates for domestic. I have it set up in my business policies to indeed show Canada Post as the preferred shipping method, and UPS is second option. Why doesn't it show my CP discounted rates when I go to buy a Canadian label? It seems to default to UPS. Well that's my rant. I think eBay scares the bejeepers out of USA buyers who are always looking at my items, often get offers but keep saying they don't like the tariff thing. The tariff thing is NOT a big deal really unless you're selling HUGE weights of say metal or Chinese products that weigh a ton. Otherwise it's not even a big deal. Maybe for some but not for a lot of us vintage type stores. Thanks for listening.

Calculated Shipping Bug: Combined weight multiplying incorrectly into kilograms for light TCG items
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a severe issue with calculated shipping on multi-item orders for trading cards. Each of my card listings is set up with an individual package weight of 20g (dimensions 15x10x1 cm). However, when a buyer purchases multiple cards and uses calculated shipping with Canada Post Expedited Lite, the system multiplies the weight in a completely broken way—inflating a small handful of cards into nearly 2.88 kg in the cart! This drives the shipping cost up to absurd amounts (over $32), scaring away buyers and breaking combined orders. I am using the standard "Combine all item weights" rule, but it seems mathematically bugged . Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a workaround to prevent the system from multiplying weights exponentially? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tariff Negative Feedback Removal
Feedback removal. American Buyer left negative feedback claiming courier backbilled them for "shipping Charge" when it was acutally the Trump Tariff. Claimed I backdoor billed them $70.00 extra for the shipping label through the courier. This whole tariff thing is a complete nightmare. I have filed and called with Ebay and nothing done in three days. Buyer is standing by their claim that it was a backdoor shipping charge and not a tariff of any kind, but Ebay knows because they sold me the label. In the past 6 months. I have had more issues than in the previous 25 years - all do to tariff ignornance is bliss . The thing, is those major courier companies can be pretty sleazy, and it is not known really how they word/justify their charge to the recipient. That's the million dollar question in this whole thing.

DDP Pilot Program
Hello there, I am a seller in Canada and was wondering how to be a part of the DDP Pilot Program for shipping to the states? I ship all my items with the tariffs prepaid, and heard that I can get the banner switched on my page so it says "This item includes applicable import fees—you won't pay anything extra after checkout." I would like to avoid doing the EIS program and continue to use my own shipping. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you, Jessie

eIS no longer allows US computer/electronics sales to Canada
I started noticing this a few days ago when some vintage computer accessories I bought from the US were stopped at the International Hub and declared "Unable to deliver". Now eBay is going to the source and ruling out Canada, and no doubt elsewhere, as a destination for computers etc. through eBay International Shipping. This seems to follow from a recent US administration policy on e-waste. Searches on eBay and PicClick reveal that computers etc. will only ship to Canada via USPS, UPS, and other couriers. Another kick in the teeth to cross-border eBay trade.

Hello everyone, As budding sellers on eBay, it’s crucial to ensure that the products we list comply with the platform's policies, especially regarding intellectual property rights. I’m interested in hearing your experiences and strategies for this. How do you identify whether a product is branded or potentially falls under eBay’s Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program? What steps do you take to avoid listing counterfeit items, and how do you determine if products sold by other sellers are authorized for resale? Additionally, do you have any tips for new sellers to research and verify products effectively? Your insights and any resources you recommend would greatly help those of us who are striving to build a legitimate and successful eBay business. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Overcoming Issues with Implementing Return Policies
I'm facing challenges with changing my store's return policy from 'no returns' to 'accept returns.' Despite trying both bulk and singular changes and creating new return policies, I’m unable to switch. Have any of you encountered a similar issue? How did you resolve it? Are there complexities in the platform that I might be overlooking? I’d love to hear your experiences and any advice on effectively managing return policies.
