Our Canada Post "fake" small packet tracking number will not count anymore. I will forever lose my TRS status on US Ebay in a few weeks.
As a reminder, Canadian sellers still won't need to meet the 90% tracking upload requirement to become Top Rated on eBay.com and get the 20% final value fee discount. The distinction is that listings can only be Top Rated Plus (giving them maximum boost in search and have the Top Rated Plus seal on them) if the seller does meet the following requirements: 90% tracking, 1 or 0 day handling and minimum 14 days returns.

Not true. I mean "TRS status ON US EBAY" (not in GLOBAL). I will still have TRS in GLOBAL, on CANADA EBAY, bot NOT ANYMORE ON US EBAY.
I assure you, Canadian sellers can be TRS on eBay.com without meeting the tracking upload requirement. That will still give you your 20% discount. However, when looking at your listings on eBay.com, you will not see the TRS Plus seal there because your listing doesn't meet the TRS Plus requirements. This is something we negotiated with the US TRS team and it will still be in effect after the August 20 changes.

We were both right 🙂 I didn't catch that you were specifically talking about the TRS Plus seal on your listings.

I don't really care about my 20% discount. I care about the VISIBILITY on US EBAY. I sell exclusively on US EBAY, most of my customer are from US. My items are not expensive enough to use the traceable CP services (accelerated parcel or Xpresspost). CP assigns a tracking number to all "small packets", but they are not really traceable, so Ebay will be not able to verify them.
That is unfortunately true. One more reason why we continue to work with Canada Post and other carriers to offer more competitive pricing and services for Canadian eBay sellers.

Rafael, if ebay has no tracking number, how do you verify handling time claim?
If you're talking about the 1 or 0 day handling time requirement for TRS Plus listings on eBay.com, the requirement is to offer that feature on your listing. There is no enforcement of how long it takes a seller to put an item in the mail per se.

Raphael: Are you saying that Canadian sellers selling on .com will still have a TRS badge, but not the TRS plus?
If not I am questioning whether it's worth paying store subscriptions when our listings are even harder to search.
For clarity, what I'm explaining here has nothing to do with what eBay site a Canadian seller creates his or her listings on. Let's assume that my example uses a Canadian seller who is Top Rated on eBay.com as well as Globally, lists everything on eBay.ca, and doesn't use Canada Post tracking.
In this example, this seller's items would have a Top Rated Seller badge when a buyer looks at them on eBay.ca. However, if the buyer looks at the same items from eBay.com, they would see no badge (TRS badges were retired from eBay.com a bit over a year ago) and no Top Rated Plus seal since the tracking requirement isn't met.
The only way a Canadian seller can get a Top Rated Plus seal on their items when viewed on eBay.com is to meet all the TRS Plus requirements: valid tracking uploaded on 90% of transactions with US sellers, and the listing needs to offer both 1 or 0 day handling as well as 14 days or longer for returns.
