Ebay's got their promotion with Canada Post until the New Year and I've been taking advantage of the break in shipping cost, printing my own labels and dropping off packages with shipping already paid... But how can I get shipping quotes before I even list the item? I can even pre-package the item, measure and weigh it at home and enter those figures with my listing, but I don't get any shipping quotes yet. So, I miscalculated the discount due to the size of the parcel. When I confirm the weight and box dimensions, only before I'm about to send, and long after I estimated shipping and factored that into my listing. So, I got stung pretty bad. Am I missing something? Can I even get quotes as I'm listing? Also: shipping options provided only cover to a maximum $100, but my item sold for over $200. I normally deal with a cross-border shippers, so I guess I'll have to skip the offer thru eBay this time.
