Hello Canadian sellers,
This thread is open for discussion regarding the recent announcement about eBay Canada retiring USD support from its selling flows. Myself and other employees will come visit this thread and do our best to answer any questions on this topic.

Currently, we are billed in USD - both from eBay and PayPal. I am concerned about additional conversion fees to pay for my eBay bills each month. Will eBay and PayPal be also billing in CAD so that we don't have to convert from CAD funds to USD to pay our monthly bills??
Hi antiquesincanada,
You can actually choose in which currency you are billed, but (and bear with me here as it gets complicated) the currency you list in determines how fees are charged. List in CAD, your fees are charged in CAD. Similarly, if you subscribe to an eBay Store on eBay.ca, your subscription fees will be charged in CAD. Once these fees are charged, they are converted to your chosen billing currency.
Under the current exchange rate situation, I would recommend for any Canadian seller to ensure they are getting their eBay fees billed in CAD to avoid unnecessary conversion fees.

I have only been here 2 years but I cannot believe how eBay can continue to F___ things up.
Well..... if it is a Canadian Site and we can only use CAN $'s then can we assume all fees and charges from eBay & PayPal Canada will also be listed and collected in CAN$ ?????
....and if it is a Canadian Site and we can only use CAN $'s then can we assume that we will no longer have to deal with a separate USA Region in seller performance and it will be replaced with a Canadian Region????
Hello jimbo_kw,
As I mentioned in an earlier post, you can choose in which currency you are billed.
As for the Seller Standards regions, these have no connection at all with what changes we are announcing today. Canadian sellers will continue to get measured on their sales to US buyers for their US Standards and on their sales to all buyers for their Global Standards.
For the record, eBay Canada is the only eBay site in the world to ever have offered the possibility to list in more than the local currency. By making this change, we are actually correcting an anomaly that has prevented us from bringing many features and enhancements to Canadian users.

If we decide to move over to ebay.com how will our views be affected? Also, how will our listings be affected? Will the shipping be clear it's coming from Canada?
Hello Adam,
Listing site and listing currency are not factors in Best Match search rankings, so merely moving your items to eBay.com will not, by itself, affect your views. Also, all items listed on eBay, regardless of site, need to have their location specified on the listing. Even though eBay.com will not offer you as accurate shipping services as eBay.ca does, it will allow you to specify your shipping with enough accuracy to keep your buyers informed on where your items come from.
