Canada Post shipping discounts for Ebay

[tch_ca]

Is Ebay making progress re-negotiating reasonable shipping rates with CPC or are we stuck paying the already ridiculously high rates offered by CPC?

[momcqueen]

Good question. I cannot answer that but maybe ebay reps can update us on it.

If you hold a Small Business Solutions number, you do get a 5% or so discount on many parcel services.

This includes some shipping labels purchased through Paypal, Shippo and SnapShip.

With  SS the fee is charged to your credit card.

With PP it comes out of your PP account.

I think Shippo can be charged to your PP account, but I don't use it often.

PP already knows the shipping address.

With SS you have to enter the address.

I think Shippo can charge to PP but I use a cash back credit card with it, so to me it's sorta an extra 1.5% saving in the form of cash back.

I pay for my Shippo labels through PP now but using a card with a cash back program is a good  idea.  I’ll have to switch to that  although I may wait until we have to switch to the new new payment processor.

Yes, please. Shippo has lost a bit of it's luster without the discount.

Last year when Snap Ship came out and it was an extra 15% off, those were good days.

Semi related question:

Is anyone on Canada Post Level 2 discounts or higher? Do Shippo orders count towards your yearly CPC total spend?

Both Shippo and Paypal count if your Solutions for Small Business number is linked properly.

...

Canada Post should(*) show your last 3 months of label purchases when you sign into your account and look at the dashboard outbound section.

(*) - assuming CPC website is running properly, they've had a number of glitches this summer.

I'm currently sitting at Level 2, and I cannot say that reaching a new level of additional discount knocked off my socks.

I have all my business cards registered with shippo. The base 5% discounts don't come close to what Ebay had negotiated.

Maybe Ebay should remove this nonsense then. Shows up every time you create a label...
