Ebay Canada Post shipping rates

[forester_studios]

Hi Everyone - 

Just wondering if anyone has posted a chart/guide to the current Canada Post prices available through Ebay labels.  I know there are some substantial savings available as I've shipped a few items in recent months and was pleasantly surprised by the discounts.  Still it would be nice to have a thumbnail guide of the various rates available through Ebay labels for the various shipping options.  It would be helpful when listing to use the best option.  Thanks in advance to any awesome person that could help me find some info on this topic.

It will vary a bit due to things like fuel surcharges and destination province tax rates, so a fixed table may be of limited benefit. You can go to the eBay shipping calculator and plug in some numbers and destinations though. Make sure you select the eBay negotated rates rather than counter.

Here are some of my today's orders: TP USA (100g and 250g) and Denmark (250g).

That last one- Tracked International - is painful.
I recently had a non-eBay sale and the shipping was some $42.

Fortunately, I have a fair amount of mint Canadian postage purchased at steep discounts, so my actual cost was, if not as low as the eBay price, lower than the face value.

By the way, some of those discounts are also available to holders of Solutions for Small Business accounts, which is mostly forgotten these days.

At one time we needed the SfSM account to access the eBay discounts, but not, I think, any more.

When I am in line behind someone shipping a large parcel at the PO, I offer them the use of my SfSM card to get the discount.

The clerks are either pleased or don't care, and it shows on my account counting towards the next discount level.

Plus warm pink fuzzies.

Re: Lending the card

Past depots no issues with that. The current one, no way Jose!! Unsure if it is something someone was told at 1 time, an interpretation or something else. I often see the shocked look both for it's going to take that long to arrive and HOW MUCH (grumble, grumble, grumble)!!! All you can do is try. Totally agree with the warm fuzzies when you can!!!

It's too bad, like in the past with outside of eBay transactions that could be done with Shippo/PayPal that could also be done with eBay Labels. That would be very beneficial. I guess something eBay just didn't consider!!!
