Hi,
I'm looking for help on how to send invoices for CDN funds when the item is listed in USD. With the terrible Canadian dollar and most of my customers being American I would lose money listing everything in CA funds. So 90% of the listings are USD currently!!
I added a note explaining the situation and saying if a fellow Canadian wants my items they can pay CA funds, I'm just not sure how I can send my CDN invoices.
looking for help from other members please
Thank you
I checked some of your recent listings and I found some in Cdn$ and some in US$.
The invoicing system through eBay can only be done in the currency of the listing.
If a listing is in US$, the invoice will be sent by eBay to the buyer in US$.
Some sellers - and I understand it is what you want to do - let their Canadian buyers know that they could pay in Cdn$ equivalent if they wish.
Once the buyer has agreed to be invoiced in a currency different from the listing, you can send a PayPal invoice to the buyer for the equivalent Canadian dollar amount.
Once the buyer has paid, you will need to manually adjust the payment information on eBay.
" I would lose money listing everything in CA funds"
????
Not really. You can list at US$100.00 or Cdn$ 140.00 (for example). At the end of the day you would get approximately the same amount in your bank account.
Thanks guys
Would you have a step by step guide, I just bought a few items and only have the Paypal option or credit card was available. I didn't see anywhere being the buyer to wait for a invoice.
also about running a store, my Fee's are crazy again, I spent $200.00 last month and it's already $160.00 today Jan 29th 2016. If I open a store do I lose my (personal) username forever?
after we sell everything I want my old username again but wasn't sure on the answer.
Is the cost savings that great, I looked under fee's and I pay 9%+listing fee's etc. I already pay 10% because of the sporting good items
thank you.

It is up to the seller if they are willing to let you pay in Canadian dollars so you would have to send them a message to ask if they would you send you a paypal invoice in Canadian currency. But you should have asked before you made the purchase because some sellers may not be willing to do that or know how to do it.
Is the purchase for a large amount? The seller will still charge you at the current exchange rate so all you may save is the 2.5% Paypal currency exchange fee.
Your username does not change when you open a store. Your username can be different than your store name.
The cost savings is different for everyone. Some people open a store because they get to list more free items with a store but some prefer to wait for listing promos. There's no definitive answer.
