I live in Canada, but eBay seems to think I live in the USA.

Hi, I just started selling and I can't seem to get the shipping options for canada users. I have a canadien adresse in my settings, but when I create an auction it is just as if I lived in the USA.

How can I fix this?

Try listing on eBay.ca - not eBay.com

 

Click on the SELL link on top of this page.

 

Or use the completed listing (from a few days ago) and click on "Sell a Similar Item".

I already have 30/30 items listed, and when I go to eBay.ca then click to modify my post, it changes to eBay.com automaticly

The problem is that you have listed these items on eBay.com - shipping to USA only - with no shipping method and shipping charge to Canada.

 

As such they only show on eBay.com

Did you by change use an ebay.com listing to 'Sell One Yourself'? from someone else's listing? Or maybe the ebay.com product catalogue?

What do you mean by changes it to .com? I checked quite a few of your listings and they were done on the Canada website. They are in U.S dollars though...is that what you meant?  You can change the currency to Canadian when you do a new listing, but not on an existing one. I believe it is near the top of the sell your item form.

 

A couple of things...You should consider shipping to the U.S. rather than just Canada as the market is much larger in the U.S.

 

Also..unless you are happy with selling your items at .99 it is not a good idea to start auctions that low. I realize that ebay recommends it but unless an item is very high in demand, the ending price often ends at the price you started at. Always start an auction at a price you will be happy with.

Looking at your listings as a buyer it tells me your in Canada only thing U.S as others have said is your charging U.S funds but no big deal to worry about if not all most Canadians charge U.S fund format.
