More cuts, lovely

Got the same info, but still not sure what means a "Canadian" subscriber?

Do I qualify, or not? I have a store on Ebay.com, not on Ebay.ca...

Is it "Canadian" Store subscribers or "Canadian Store" subscribers 😀

Just saw that message. Great.

Guess I'll just be getting all of my supplies from U-Line or Staples. They're far cheaper anyways. The only reason I had to get anything from eBay was with the discount. This just means no "eBay" branding on any of the parcels I'll be sending.

Hi brettjet38,

We’re reaching out to inform you of a change to your eBay Store subscription benefits. Effective February 28, 2025, Canadian Store subscribers will no longer receive quarterly shipping supplies coupons.

If you wish to cancel or modify your Store subscription, please do so by February 28, 2025.

What this means for you

No other changes are being made to the Store subscription benefits. As a Store subscriber, you will continue to receive the same tools and support to grow your business.

If you have any questions or concerns, just get in touch—we’re here to help.

Thanks for being part of the eBay community.

I stopped using these coupons over a year ago and have enough packaging to last for years, and I am actually surprised we got them for as long as we did...

...R.I.P cheap overpriced tape and boxes.

they really know how to make us feel special! 🙂

@brettjet38

The coupon was 65% shipping costs. 35% overpriced supplies.

ricarmic · ‎01-29-2025

@38e_avenue AFAIK "canadian" means site of registration, so yep it catches us all regardless what site one lists on.

I've only got the March one as mine renews in June.

Like @brettjet38 I've probably got a couple years worth of supplies, I'll slowly gain back some space in the warehouse, my friends I've been giving bubble envelopes to will be sad......

Once again, Canadian sellers not being offered the same support/services from eBay as other countries. Not an even playing field. In lieu of this perhaps they should lower subscription fees (yeah right).

motomike_canada · ‎01-29-2025

You know what would be helpful? If we purchase shipping lables through eBay, they should credit back selling fees related to the cost of the label.

I'm old enough to know that the reason they started charging on shipping was because people were selling items for 99 cents and $500 shipping to avoid fees. They couldn't police the policy preventing that, so just started billing fees on the whole transaction.

Now that they have labels on-site (some even reasonably priced!) it would be very simple to impliment a fair selling fee based on the item, not the item+shipping+VAT...

(they won't but I like to dream)

In checking the US discussion forum...no announcement there...so far. It sounds like last year (July) someone at HQ jumped the gun for Canadian's and a major late coupon to eventually arrive. From past experience eBay announcements show up on dot com long before they do on ca. I guess we were "lucky" this time.

Exactly, there are absurdly expensive without the coupon. They really think we will still buy these supplies from them? 🤣

I believe they wanted to please to Trump by removing the coupon 😂

The same here - I even have 800 Ebay bubble mailers under the sink in my kitchen and 600 behind my TV 😃

motomike_canada · ‎01-29-2025

lol luck you, I go through a dozen or so bubble mailers a day. They're a lot cheaper from my local supplier if Im paying full pop, and made in Canada too, but it's always nice to have the cheapish almost free expensive ones from eBay.

regs43 · ‎01-29-2025

Great .......

I found the bubble maielrs to be useful and buy 200 of the smallest size every quarter. Not sure where I'm getting that quantity for $20 lol AKA nowhere.

I tried some poly bubble mailers from staples once and the quality was 100x worse then what ebay sends out lol, anyone have a seller/spot they usually order from that was decent quality for the 6x9 bubble mailers

motomike_canada · ‎01-29-2025

REMUS #0 Eco-lite SS Mailer 6.5x10 (250ct) are like $60 /cs so like 24 cents each.

I use Snelling locally, there's others.

@38e_avenue

Have you checked at this link for the sellers hub for US sellers? Canadian sellers never got that particular link. In checking store types on both sites it "appears" info regarding those coupons is MIA. It may just be hidden from my view tho. Were you able to use coupon via US or Canadian site in the past?

Interesting! It seems I don't qualify, even if I pay the US store subscription ....
