I thought I saw an email (not on ebay) that said Expedited Lite was stopping sometime in May. Of course, I can't find the email now. Haven't used it yet but have a pkg to list that could make use of Exp Lite. Anyone know if it is continuing or ending soon?

Here is the most recent announcement from eBay on the subject

CP has their own variation. This may be the announcement you were thinking of or had seen. Its good up to 250 grams but is not as good of a discount compared to the one through ebay labels. Have yet to test but if you needed for something personal it might work for you.

It’s been a full year of savings, but our lightweight shipping discounted rates will end on May 26, 2024!

Thanks for the reminder! I was thinking it was continuing but that's the low rate for US tracked packet that is continuing. Lotz do you know what would happen to listings set up with Calculated Shipping that were using Expedited Lite? Will they automatically change back to regular parcel or should I mark my calendar and manually change them. I'm going to miss this service, I do think it helped sales.

As far as I know it is still continueing with eBay Labels. Just the internal CP service is ending. I got an email about it from CP awhile back. I guess in their books it wasn't a keeper or just didn't have enough demand. I think if the service were to get discontinued with eBay expedited lite would just get hidden.

Yes, that Canada Post email is the one I was looking for. So I guess that as long as the label is purchased through eBay Expedited Lite is still continuing. Thanks for letting me know.
