What is your "simple question"?
Experienced sellers may be able to answer it here much faster and more accurately.
" I hope that Ebay pays you for your service"
No.
eBay changed the default on the "Sell your item" (SYI3) form several months ago to encourage Canadian sellers to list and sell in Canadian dollars.
According to their analysis, Canadian sellers would benefit from selling in Canadian dollars instead of US$.
In any case, when you get to the SYI form, you can change to the advanced form by clicking on the link (upper right).
This will bring you to the full SYI where you determine of you wish to sell in US$ or Cdn$
Here is the link to the announcement by eBay.ca suggesting listing in Canadian dollars:

Some sellers agree, some do not.
Based on my experience, it makes good economical sense to list most items in Canadian dollars (adjusting prices for currency exchange of course).
In my experience, an item listed at US$10.00 will sell as well as the same item listed at Cdn$ 14.00 (and vice versa). The biggest advantage as a Canadian seller is that when you get paid by the buyer in Cdn$, you do not have to pay PayPal's 2.5% foreign exchange conversion fee (built in the conversion rate paid to you). If your buyers are Canadians, they also save that 2.,5% conversion fee.
Good Luck
"most people have a sense of the worth of US currency."
When Americans search eBay.com and when overseas buyers search their own eBay sites, they see their local currency equivalent in search result pages, not the Cdn$.
List on com in US dollars. I have never trusted ca. Things just happen.
Plus? As far as I know, Canada is not a country, we are still an "associated market".
