Hi,
I'm new to Ebay and have several items listed on Ebay.ca but would like to switch them over to Ebay.com. Would anyone have any info on how this can be done?
Thanks for your time,
Chipped Paints

There is a Migration Tool for that although I've never used it. I've always listed in CAD on ebay.ca.
I think the prevailing advice form other sellers would be to do it one at a time, re-creating the listings on ebay.com, if you have only a few.

Remember that on dotCOM you will have to use Flat Rate shipping, which can be a problem since most parcel services are based on dimensions, weight and distance.
This is a particular concern within Canada.

Active listings can not be switched.
With the small number of listings you have can just list them (from scratch) on ebay.com after the listing on ebay.ca ends. You can copy and paste info from the old listing to the new one.
Big difference between .com and .ca is shipping choices.
Here's a list of current shipping choices when listing on eBay.com for the Canadian seller (who ships from Canada):
To the USA
All flat rate, no calculated
Economy Shipping from outside US
Standard Shipping from outside US
Expedited Shipping from outside US
Flat rate Freight
-.-
Outside the USA, to the rest of the world (including Canada)
All flat rate, no calculated, countries are selectable.
Economy Int'l Shipping
Standard Int'l Shipping
Expedited Int'l Shipping
You can have up to 5 separate International rates for countries you
select plus can have "Require buyers to contact you for international
shipping costs" as a choice. This last International option allows the
potential buyer to ask for a cost and you can calculate a shipping cost to their country.
-.-
A Canadian seller can still buy discounted shipping through PayPal from Canada Post.
