Sales on .com vs .ca - USD as opposed to CDN $

I have about 900 listed on .ca and almost 400 on .com.  I have sold 7 CD's so far this month and 6 were off .com and only 1 off .ca and that was to someone in Germany.  Of the 6 that were sold on .com.  - 3 were to US buyers and 3 were to Canadian buyers.  

 

What that tells me, is for what ever reason, buyers do not shop on .ca or at least not with the Canadian dollar.  I opened a store just so I can move most of my CD's over to .com.  This only confirms what I figured all along.  For me selling with the Canadian Dollar just doesn't work.  It may work for some of you but not for me.

PJ said:  It's not happening to everyone so that makes it even stranger.  I wonder if there was a problem with the site when you relisted....are other listings that you relisted around the same time showing on both sites.

 

 

Hi PJ, Great Idea, I checked and all the listings that were posted on Aug 31/16 over 30 so far only got listed on .ca even though the shipping was indicated for US and International. 

 

I'm going to bring this up tomorrow to Raphael, as it possibly has happened to others and I want them to investigate.   All of these plus a couple more pages are ghosts on .com.

As it turns out that anything that I listed on .com that day, doesn't show up on .ca.  So I guess August 31 was a day to keep in mind if you listed on either site, it may not be showing up in the searches.  

 

It shows up on selling manager.    According to selling manager I have 1,293 items listed.  1,235 show up in .com so around 58 listings are missing.  On .ca 1,257 show up, so about 36 are missing from .ca.  I saw "about" as there are a couple of listings on .com that are only for .com.

Hi pj, thanks for helping me on this issue.  When you saw the listings that did not have an amount specified for US, were you on .ca or .com?  That still doesn't explain what happened to the 1289 that should be there, several are just ghosts. 


  I was on .ca when I saw the listings that did not have an amount specified for US shipping.  I don't see that today though.
