I just ended all my listings on .com and restricted shipping on all my .ca CD's, Kinda sad.
Summary: musicyouneed expressed sadness after ending their listings on eBay.com and restricting shipping for their .ca CDs, citing an end of an era as a longtime seller since 2002. katlover1952 shared their concern over tariffs and how they negatively impact their US sales, making up 75% of their business. transtraders and phc64 experienced similar issues, planning to restrict sales to US territories due to tariff problems. transtraders mentioned testing eBaymag for transferring listings but faced difficulties, opting for Inkfrog instead for its manual but functional approach. musicyouneed is managing the situation by hoping for changes in the coming months to relist their US-made CDs.
I just ended all my listings on .com and restricted shipping on all my .ca CD's, Kinda sad. I really enjoyed selling and will continue with .ca but really sad about losing all my US buyers. I've been selling since 2002 and this is the worst. So sad end of an era.

·11 months agoI could not get ebaymag to work, it just sat there trying to import a 0% and never went any further.
I have switched to inkfrog and doing the listings one by one, its time consuming but it is working. Luckily I only have about 250 listing to do, so not too bad for me, but not really a solution if you are a large volume seller.

OP11 months agoI am doing one by one and have about 500 to go. I am leaving the CD's as ended that were made in the US, hoping there may be a change within 90 days so I can relist those.

·11 months agoSorry to hijack your thread, but its kind of related.
Does anyone have any experience with ebaymag (https://ebaymag.com/)?
Apparently it can import all your listings and transfer them to any other ebay site for you.

·11 months agoI am not sure it is to import listings, then delete from .com . From a quick google search appears like it does cross listing with the .com listing ongoing. Suggest googling around for ebaymag reviews.

·11 months agoIt says it imports them as drafts, You still have to manually end all your listing yourself.

·11 months agoI imagine we should also disable shipping to Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and other US territories, as I guess that the same tariff issues will apply to them......not that I recall ever having a buyer from any US territory in my 22 years on eBay.

·11 months agoI am in the same boat as you guys. I will end all my listings this weekend and sowly relist on .ca. Its a shame, I have been selling on ebay since the late 90's, and this is the worst thing to have ever happen in my experience.

·11 months agoThink I will be doing the same until eBay comes up with something like what .com has for international sales. With the tariffs I really doubt that US sellers are going to buy from us either. Very sad as it will certainly ruin my business as about 75% of my sales were US.
