Canada Post tracking on shipments to US

I have 3 US shipments that I've shipped in Jan, 1 Xpress and 2 Expedited, that do not show any scans outside of Canada. I know that tracking with CP and USPS is pretty vague most of the time, but all 3 of these appear that they never arrived in the U...

Paypal & new rules

I'm surprised there aren't more topics on the boards regarding the fact that Paypal may hold your funds for 21 days. That is almost unbelievable to me that they can do that. I'm sure it wouldn't be legal in Canada.

MAKING FB FAIR FOR SELLERS & EDUCATING BUYERS

I was thinking about this and while I don't agree with the changes that don't allow sellers to leave negs I'm not delusional enough to think ebay is going to listen to our complaints any time soon. I do, however, think that we should AT LEAST be able...

Not responsible for items that are not insured

Why does that sentence (or similar) appear in so many listings? And I mean listings from sellers with 1,000's of FB. Bluff? Ignorance? Or is there something that I don't get here?

Great sellers, as defined by high DSRs within the last 30 days, will get hi
