A bit more work than paypal or Shippo for eBay sales:

Sign into your Solutions for Small Business account on the Canada Post website.

Start Snap Ship, then copy and paste the address and enter size info.

Select Expedited parcel or Xpresspost.

Promo code PLUS25 is entered on the 3rd page.

Pay with credit card if the promo code works.

Print label.

Manually update eBay sales record as shipped and add tracking number.

I can't find any reference to this offer on the Canada Post website, where is it?

Was is in September last year when there was free shipping offers each Tuesday?

Hi Triber, if you google Snap Ship it should take you to that page. The Canada Post free shipping days were in October the last few years. Sure hope we get some this year!

Thanks msmaggie, I tried and I still can't find it, I must be getting old.

All I can see is to open an account, I already have one. Is the promo just for new accounts?

tried with an experimental order and this is the message I got:

"The promo code can’t be used. Try again, or continue with your order”

I couldn't find any details on the Canada Post website. The info I got was in a Solutions for Small Business email (so it might be an invite only code, like eBay's free listing promos). 

I've had my current SfSB membership since VentureOne got rebranded (2015).  Another website forum had a poster mention that codes similar to this did not work with the older V1 membership -- but that is pure speculation.

I tested an Expedited parcel for Canada and the code did knock a few $ off the purchase price.

I couldn't find it either.  I Googled "Canada Post PLUS25 Promotion" and it took me to Cannabis Promotion - Canada Post ... lol.  A real thing, by the way.

[mrdutch1001]

Likewise also have had the SfSB membership since VentureOne got rebranded(had the original VentureOne card from whenever it was initiated many many years ago...)

The promo code maybe just another one of those "luck of the draw" situations...

I did not receive any email from Canada Post.

@femmefan1946 

This promo doesnt seem to have anything to do with ebay so I doubt that Tyler can do anything about it.

[pjcdn2005]

It didn't work for me either so it must be invite only.  😞

Thanks for tagging @femmefan1946!

I've been doing some digging and can't find any indication of our involvement in this promo. If you have any eBay messages about this promo will you grab me a screenshot so I can use that to shake the tree and see if we get anything to help with it?

This is a Canada Post Solutions for Small Business promo only -- eBay is not involved.  I got the email from Canada Post directly since I have emails turned on for my SfSB membership.

It also, from reports I've seen, appears to be an invite only promo, rather than something for everyone.  Perhaps an attempt to get some shippers to bring their volumes back up. Flat rate boxes could be diverting some sales, plus those sellers using postage stamps to ship their parcels (old stamps do not help the cash flow).
