Calculated shipping to the states not working?

Hi everyone. I listed an item today and calculated shipping to the U.S. is not working. I have had several messages asking how much to ship to their state. All of my listings, past and present, have worked except this one. I contacted the online agent to no real avail. I have always used Canada Post shipping to both Canada and the US. Any suggestions? Thank you. You people are great!

What service did you select? I’ve noticed in the past when this happens to me that I have selected and eBay let me save tracked packet but my measurements exceed the allowed limits.

Have you tested the listing leaving weight blank and then choosing services? When you check options all should become available. (If your weight is over 2 Kg small packet air and tracked will not work for USA or Internationally.) Once you have chosen options you can update measurements. This is something a few of us discovered a short time ago as being an issue.

Also.

Run a few tests yourself to see if your rates really are not turning up.

There is a scam where the 'buyer ' persuades the seller to accept Paypal directly, but in reality there is no PP account or payment.

 

The easiest zipcode to remember is 90210.

Are you using expedited USA?  Ebays calculator won't work if the measurements are below Canada Post posted minimums.   Make sure that each of the dimensions listed is at or more than 21cm x 14cm x .5cm.  Note that the domestic minumums  are lower than the US ones which is why the Canadian rates work.

And you are using metric right?

Canada Post went metric in 1974 and everything else is approximation.
