I don't sell much over the old "limit" and I don't bother with signatures anyway but for those that do....

Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement

Section 11 of the User Agreement currently requires that sellers obtain signature confirmation for transactions of $325 CAD in order for a transaction to be eligible for Seller protection for an Item Not Received Claim. That Section also currently includes a table for the corresponding foreign equivalency amount. This section will be changed to increase the dollar amount required for signature confirmation from $325 CAD to $850 CAD, and the foreign equivalency amounts are also being increased.

Effective May 15th.

You have to wait until May 15, 2014 before the changes go into effect. Anything sold before then is governed by the current limits.

Wow - this is really great news for me. It means I can compete with US sellers on shipping higher priced items - because a lot of mine are boarder line.

Signature Confirmation has its place, even at values lower than $325.

Relatively rare valuable book was lost when it was deposited in a community mailbox in Calgary....Buyer was livid.

Signature confirmation would have meant that the buyer would have picked up the parcel in person... with signature confirmation..

I have used signature confirmation in situations where I am mailing a relatively rare book.. safety in delivery to the buyer

There is more to signature confirmation than a value of $325 or $850 in the future

I have learned my lesson.

We can now, after May 15, ship internationally with tracking and fully insured up to $850 at less cost ... without the need for signature confirmation ...

I searched and searched on the PayPal site about this change... but all the documents I found are still quoting $325 CAD as before May 15. Does someone know where I can find the link confirming that change is in effect?
