Options Ebay international shipping
Summary: The discussion started with a question about options for eBay international shipping. microprogrammers and marnotom! exchanged views, but no specific details were provided in their conversation.
I opted into EBAY international shipping for all of my items, mainly so I could ship to the USA.
However, the cost is very high when shipping to the USA (which is understandable because of the tariffs).
Ever since I started using EBAY international shipping, my sales have completely stopped because the shipping cost is unreasonable.
I want to use EBAY international shipping only to the USA and add other options (NON US) because it is cheaper for the customer, and hopefully I will receive more sales from other countries.
Adding another shipping option i.e. Canada Post NON US Air (in addition to the ebay international shipping option) cancels the ebay international shipping option. Therefore the customer can only use the second option, Canada Post NON US Air.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

·6 months agoUnless I'm misunderstanding your question, from what I can see you're pretty much doing this as it is. I just looked at your listing for the programmable remote and it shows both a non-US Small Packet option and eIS (eBay International Shipping) as options for the Netherlands. You can't get rid of the eIS option without getting rid of it for the United States in the process, so you might as well just leave it as an option for buyers outside of the US.
By the way, the reason why your eIS shipping rates are unreasonable is because you're charging C$19-25 to have the item shipped to the eIS hub. If you take off the C$25 shipping to the hub for the remote, eIS's share of the shipping charge is C$17.03, less than the Small Packet rate showing as C$28.00 for the listing.
Do any of your items qualify for shipping through eBay's Expedited Lite service? Do you use Canada Post's Solutions for Small Business? Have you looked into any way you can get your domestic shipping rates down? (Are you shipping with flat-rate boxes?)
