Move my store from .com to .ca

I just got off the phone with EBay help and apparently the only way I can open a store on .ca is to completely close my EBay account and start a brand new account. Ive already closed my .com store. I’ve had my account since 1999 and this seems crazy! There must be a way to do this. I’m tired of paying out in US dollars when our dollar is so low.

You are registered in Canada, there is no need for a new account. You simply have to close the US Store and open a Canadian Store.

One issue you will have with that is that you will not be able to use the same Store name until it has been unused for 30 days.

The other issue you will have, if your payouts are currently in US Dollars then you can't change that to CAD, it would require a new account. Unlike in the PayPal days when payouts currency could be changed once a year with MP that is not possible. Moving to a CA Store will be cheaper but it won't change the payout currency.

If we wind up in a no de minimis situation to the US I'll be facing the currency issue - no way will I sell on .CA and lose 10% between eBay and the bank conversions from USD on CAD sales.
