what do i write in the "other documentation" box on Canada post small packet customs form? Is "ebay merchandise" O.K.?

I have a couple of items I have sold to U.S. buyers.  I picked up some small packet customs forms from Canada Post.  It is not a gift, or sample, or documents, so I am assuming I check off the "other documentation" box.  What do I write down beside the checked off box though?  Is "ebay merchandise" OK?

Yes,if you are shipping an item you sold on eBay,it should be noted as merchandise on the customs form. You don't have to mention the eBay part,though. The value you declare should be the final bid price or the buy it now price.

Hello 'jessica',

It's merchandise.  The 'where' it was bought is irrelevant, - only what it is, "Eyeshadow" for example.  You will want to say what it is because some items of merchandise are non-mailable.  Yours are fine.

And the declared value of any item is always the amount paid for the item, - not more not less.  It's what you can prove on paper.
