I have sold on both and most definitely prefer eBay.com
I even had a store on .ca several years ago and closed it after eight months. 😞
My store on .com is doing well and will remain open. :-) .

"Anyone care to explain why I should list on ebay.com instead of eBay.ca ? I dotn see a reason for or will that raise my sells ? "
As stated many times in the last six years, like most experienced high volume Canadian sellers, I list primarily on .com, because my products are generally of interest to a worldwide audience.
If I have some products of specific interest to Canadian collectors, I then list them on eBay.ca in Canadian dollars for the convenience of the buyer.
When eBay.ca announces a listing promotion not available on .com, I obviously will take advantage of the promotion.
My store is on eBay.com and will remain there.
The changes announced last week will not affect where I list my items.
If a seller is happy with the sales generated when listing on .ca, by all means that seller should not change the listing site. Sellers should continue to do what works for them.
PS - The servers for eBay.ca are located in the same room in San Jose California as the servers for eBay.com .

The sun rises in the East every morning.
I cannot explain why, I just know it does and will always do and when I get up every morning I look East to find it! 😉
Whenever ebay makes an "improvement" to their system, sellers will find the improvement on eBay.com first, followed on other international sites such as eBay.ca several weeks or months later.
Why settle for third class when second class is available at the same price? .

Hi Susan.
Actually, eBay has made some changes to the invoicing system and a seller can now combine sales from .ca and .com on the same invoice as long as the currency for all listings is US$.
At this time, a seller cannot combine sales in different currencies, regardless of site. .

Hi dagr8_renaud
Let me give you one specific example. It may help you understand why we do what we do!
eBay.ca and eBay.com offer listing promotions from time to time (5c, 10c or 20c insertion fees). Most sellers with an eBay store and large inventory will "move" store items to the core site to take advantage fo the promotion.
If we move 100 items from eBay.com to the core (auction or fixed price) and 80 are unsold a week later, using Selling Manager on eBay.com it only takes a few minutes (at most) to relist all items to the store.
If we move 100 items from eBay.ca to the core (auction or fixed price) and 80 are unsold a week later, one must relist them to the store, one listing at the time. Bulk relisting from core to the store is not available on .ca
While this example may not have any significant effect on sales, the time savings are very substantial.
Now, imagine moving 300 or 500 items from the store for a promotion...... .
