Ebay needs to Allow disable primary shipping location. (Ebay.com Canadian sellers need disable USA)

[itolduandso]

Canadian seller on Ebay.com US. 

I can't disable USA shipping for my Chinese items.

Of course I could move listings to Ebay.CA. ... create new account, setup shipping policies, copy listings etc, start from zero... unless I want to switch to Ebay.CA with existing account and eat exchange fees and and so on (didn't want to do that).

So continuing selling on Ebay.com US. 

The issue is I can't disable US shipping being the primary destimation.

That's the same thing on Ebay.CA ,I couldn't disable Canada shipping if I wanted.

It should be as an option. If I can disable shipping altogether (pickup only) so why I am not able to disable primary destimation.

Ebay needs to change it. NOW. This doesn't make as much sense under normal condition but now under Trump's tariffs, this settings makes totally sense.

The tariff is on China goods, paid for by anyone importing them into USA.

Trump has a tariff on every country in the world, even those inhabited only by penguins.

Which means that any item manufactured outside the USA will have at least a 10% tariff charged to the American buyer.

It's not just China, although Trump seems to have a special dislike for China making tariffs on their goods higher than anywhere else.

But again, those tariffs are paid by US residents.

Something many have not yet worked out.

Most shipping carriers have a clause in their terms and conditions that states if the recipient declines the shipment or refuses to pay, the shipper (the seller) is ultimately liable for any duties and taxes assessed on the shipment.

A good reason for using the postal system rather than private couriers.

In the scheme of things how much was lowering the deminimus for shipment TO Canada a major problem? We've been dealing with that change since 2000. If we need something we pay whatever. Mope and gripe when we get billed. Over and done. We've been paying tariffs/tax for years on assortment of imports depending on the item. Yet when the USA's import system gets thrown into a tizzy by Sr. Trumpadoodle selling to the USA and other places became a nightmare. 

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) implemented changes to the de minimis thresholds for courier shipments on July 1, 2020. These changes were part of the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). The new thresholds are: $40.01 - $150.00 for goods imported from the US or Mexico after entering into the commerce of US or Mexico, and $150.01 and greater for goods imported from any country, including the US and Mexico, by courier. 

(Re: Worked out yet.) CUSFTA seems like a million years ago but it was only 1987. Pre eBay. Makes one wonder how long it will take the citizens below us to get used to those added costs brought on by their ummm leader?

So it means shipments through Canada Post - there is no recourse for (so no prepaid tariffs). I guess that's what you mean.

And is Canada Post and USPS going to charge the actual tariffs (54%) ... RATHER than the possible flat tariffs of 100 dollar (200 dollar from June)? Is it only private carriers thave the option to charge it? 

I don't really know what to tell buyers, if I send by Canada Post Tracked, how much tariffs they can expect. (There is going to be processing fees etc okay, but tariffs are the bigger unknown).

Join the US and all this goes away.

Got email from CBP officer from the Information center in the US as of May 28:

The carrier can choose to collect a duty assessment of 120% of the declared value of the international mail shipment, or A specific duty rate of $100 per shipment, until June 1, 2025.

So it's even worse than I thought, they (my guess is "private") courier could ignore that 54% top duty charged and instaead charge 120% or 100 dollar.  What happens on June 1st, who knows.

Rubbing my eyes. Who would want to ship anything there even now with the low rate of 54%.
