Expedited Lite the same as Expedited Parcel

As many others have pointed out, something has happened to Expedited Lite. The rates are now identical to Expedited Parcel. eBay has been notified and seems unable to provide any information. Has Canada Post abandoned Expedited Lite in all but name? Surely this information is not hard to get.

 

On the whole eBay Canada is slow off the mark. The opening community page still refers to Canada Post rotating strikes.

This was posted to ebay announcements Dec 5. The rates discount got applied appropriately. The part about the 250 gram change never got updated.

Expedited Lite updates

 

In addition to the updated weight bands for all other Canada Post services on eBay, Expedited Lite - the specialized service for lightweight, domestic shipping- has been updated. The maximum weight for Expedited Lite has been updated to 250 grams, and new, more granular rates based on location applied.

 

Please note: due to a technical error, some sellers may have seen incorrectly high rates for select Canada Post services this week. eBay is addressing this issue and will issue automated credits for sellers impacted by these rates over the next 2-3 weeks. 

 

 

From what I remember from back at the time Expedited Lite was introduced here on eBay, that it was only available via eBay, NO where else...

I work for Canada Post and have never heard of Expited Lite. It might have been a negotiated rate between Ebay and Canada Post that did not show up at the retail counter, but that is just a guess.
