listing on eBay.com

[cherietales]

Hello. I have always listed on eBay.ca. However, I list in U.S. dollars. Recently I opened an eBay store. Now my items in the store are listed in Canadian dollars. Not what I wanted. I contacted eBay customer support and their advice was to close my store on eBay.ca and open it on eBay.com. The problem with listing and selling on eBay.com is that you no longer have the Canada Post shipping options. I know some Canadian sellers list and sell on eBay.com. What do you do about the shipping options?

Cherie.

I list on .com, but I ship UPS and that option is available. Prior to using UPS I'd just use "Standard Ground Service" as my shipping option. I don't know if that is still available. Personally, 98% of my business is from the US and I'd like to keep it that way as shipping within Canada is just too expensive. I closed my .ca store and headed to .com about a year ago and I'm much happier there.

I list on eBay.com (both auctions & store) and I do the same as whoscloset.

I specify in the shipping to USA customers: Standard Delivery, Expedited Delivery

I specify to Canada: (International delivery): Expedited Int'l Delivery, because we don't have cheap shipping in Canada as you all know.

I specify to Worldwide: Standard Int'l Delivery, Expedited Int'l Delivery


Of course, I use Canada Post and not any courier due to the lightweight packages we send.
