Hi .. Purchasing.. if listing does not state shipping cost to Canada then you use ask a question under seller info in listing  to ask seller for a firm shipping quote.

 

Does seller ship to Canada..listing..seller info..ships to.

 

Selling ..need a scale to measure.

Canadian Tire often has the Starfrit digital scale on sale for $10 or less. It is a bargain even at regular price.

If the item weighs over 5 kilos, you may have to take it to the PO or to a UPS outlet (with packaging) for their heavier duty scales.

 

Please note that eBay (or any mail order business) will do best with high value + low weight items. Very heavy items are best sold locally, for cash, through Kijiji or Craigslist.

If you are selling,along with a metric postal scale you will need a metric measuring tape to measure the size of the package.

You don't weigh it on ebay, you weigh it on a scale.:^O

Once you've got your scale and tape measure, you can find out exactly what it will cost by going here:

If you do not have metric measures - which will give you a more accurate sum from the postal site - then use what you have and make your conversions here:

But if you plan to sell much, you'll need the basic metric equipment, -- sure to make life easier.
