Yes - I will be. I have no choice. I don't want to, but I will transfer over at the very last second of the deadline date.

All sellers on dotCOM must sell in US dollars.

They (we) have no choice.

 

The tricky part will not be currency.

Your customer will see your asking price in his own currency in Search and in both his own and the seller's listing currency on the actual listing.

So if I search for  sneakers on dotCOM, and find a Canadian seller who lists on dotCA, I will see his asking price in US dollars.

When I go to the listing I will see the price in US dollars AND in Canadian dollars.

 

The tricky part is shipping.

If your items cannot reasonable be sent Flat Rate, which is most items that are shipped Parcel (over 500 gr and 2 cm thick) you will have to do a LOT of massaging not to lose on shipping which varies not only by dimensions, weight and service, but also by Destination.

 

I can cost me $5 to ship a 3cm thick paperback to BC but $12 for the same parcel to go to Ontario for example.

I have dabbled here and there in .com and the shipping area of the ad composition is quite challenging. I think I may bump my stuff up in price and just do FREE shipping (way less headache)....I think, maybe .....oh I just don't know yet!! Dang Flabbit! I wish it would just stay as it was / is!

Most of your items (screws and such) are easily under the 2cm /500 gram LetterPost/Light Packet maximums and Flat Rate or Free Shipping should work well for you on dotCOM or dotCA.

 

The mouthpieces. Bulkier and might need Calculated Shipping because parcel rates will vary with destination. If you decide they do need CS, then those could stay on dotCA.

But remember , like my readers and seamstresses, I suppose musicians do read and follow instructions, so seeing the asking price in two currencies shouldn't panic them.
