Using ebay.ca when posting my item. Help

[noferg7140]

Hi, I am a new seller and trying to get started.

I am in Canada and I am trying to use ebay.ca to post my item.  However, as I go through the steps and fill out the details, I get to the shipping part and when I want to calculate shipping, there is nothing there about Canada Post.  I look at the browser, and the page has moved me from ebay.ca to ebay.com.  Is this why I can't find Canada Post shipping calculations?  I start out on ebay.ca but somewhere along the way it becomes ebay.com.  

Not only that, when I preview my posting, it is listed in USD, and it says I accept VISA MC AMEX etc, when the only thing I chose was PayPal.

What am I doing wrong?

Don't worry about this.

Paypal is the processor that allows us to accept credit cards without actually having merchant accounts with them.

Yes.

We can only list with Canada Post on dotCA and with USPS on dotCOM.

However, we can list using Flat Rate shipping on either site.

You can figure out a useful Flat Rate here;

I am a technodolt and this happens to me all the time.

My only way of correcting it is to keep an eye on the URL and change it back when it screwsup.

A more adept poster may have a better way.

If you're wanting to list on ebay.ca click on the link below and logon.

https://www.ebay.ca/sh/ovw

The link above opens the Canada version of Seller Hub in Overview.
Select the Listing tab and find a Create listing link there. You'll find the listing form provides Canada Post shipping services.

Bookmark the Seller Hub overview page so it can be easily found. Note the Customize link at the top, the panes can be rearranged or hidden as desired.

To create ebay.com listings in USD logon to the American Seller Hub. Since we are shipping from Canada most Canadians cannot use USPS services so we must use flat rate shipping.

If your selling account is new in the last few months I'm surprised PayPal for payments is still available. Did ebay not require you to register for Managed Payments?
