I sell scrapbook punches that are made in China through Ebay.com. Average price is 30.00 to 50.00 US, and most of my punches go to the US. I usually sell a few per month, but since tariff threats..nothing. It is my understanding that there are no tariffs on purchases under 800.00 US. Am I or the US buyer subject to fees that are different now in comparison to before Trump?

Hello, I shipped an order using a Canada Post shipping label I bought on eBay. Several weeks later the item is still out for delivery but the buyer still did not receive it. I verify the tracking number with Canada Post, but they tell me it is not a valid number, it doesn't have the correct amount of digits (too many if I remember correctly), and there is nothing they can do to help me until I can provide a valid tracking number. I don't know what to do at this point. This is an international order and I'm still new to eBay selling. What would you guys do?

I'm unsure what to use in a shipping policy for small items that I would ship domestically as oversized Canada Post Lettermail (flat rate). The options to select are... Canada Post Lettermail (2 - 6 business days) Economy Mail (1 - 15 business days) Is it better to list shipping as Economy Mail so the expected delivery time frame is longer? Or make it clearer to buyers that Canada Post lettermail is being used instead?

I just started printing my own Canada Post labels to take advantage of Ebay's great savings. Where do I find information about the discount program? Sold some magazines to the USA and got 50% off the postage, but sold a book to Canada and only got 20%. I sold the magazines on Ebay.com and the book on Ebay.ca. I would just like a little clarification on the program. Thanks!

Hi all, We had used unlist for our listings (90 listings) on ebay due to the possible Canada post strike, Now that they will be going back we would like to start up again. Would it be better to choose the deleted listings and just relist or start from scratch and create new listings. Thanks for any ideas/thoughts on this. Bill & Sylvia

Hi everyone, I have been selling trading cards on ebay for a while. I plan to sell sealed video game consoles with batteries in the original packaging. I have heard that batteries are one of the prohibited items. If I opened the original box and removed the batteries from it, the opened item would decrease significantly in value in the collectors' market. If I tell the carrier that my item contains batteries, will they not accept it? Thanks.

I've got an item to ship from Canada to the US via Purolator. As I was about to buy the label, my buyer gave me a street address for delivery by UPS or FedEx, and a PO Box address if by USPS. I suspect Purolator hands off the package to the USPS for delivery in the US, but I can't confirm this anywhere on the Purolator site or the interweb. A previous item I shipped by Purolator last summer to a buyer in the US arrived as expected. I thought If I ran that tracking number through the USPS site, it would confirm my suspicions, but the USPS didn't recognise the tracking number. Tracking on the Purolator site gives no clues. Does anyone know this bit of trivia?

Hi everyone, Some of the items I am selling are small. The ebay labels provided are too big for them. For example, I have a package whose dimensions are 6cmx6cmx3cm. Is there a way to resize an ebay label to fit it? Thank you for your help.

I'm in canada, before I list an item, how do I make sure that I have shipping to canada enabled? or is it default? I found this: Exclude shipping locations, but I don't see canada listed. Thanks in advance!

As a seller, I have just set my account to 'Time Away' due to the potential Canada Post strike (I'm not actually away anywhere and I'm not permitting any sales at this time). Does doing this prevent my messaging other sellers as a 'buyer' and them being able to message me back as a seller, in other words... is my ability to receive messages as a 'buyer' restricted? Does 'Time Away diffrentiate between my seller AND buyer activities?

Hi everyone, As a new seller, I haven't had any luck selling anything. I have been trying to learn how to automate feedback for my future buyers. I cannot figure out how to do it. Could someone please walk me through the steps? Thank you.

I am selling an expensive 18k gold neklace. Can I refuse to sell to a buyer with no, negative or insignificant feedback ? Can I state in my listing that I reserve the right to refuse a buyer ?

Hi everyone, After being an ebay buyer for a few years, I want to sell some things. I have two quick questions. (1) Once a buyer has placed an order with you, how do you send them an order confirmation? (2) How do you send the buyer a short message that you will give them an update when shipping the item? Thank you for your help and time.

I'm quite confused with the configuration of Combined Shipping. Here's a common scenario I have. How should I configure the combined shipping for weight please. My items weight about 10g (1/3 oz). With packaging and the shipping envelope, the total package weight is 90g (3 oz) : 10g for item, 30g for packaging, 50g for envelope. Here are some combined shipping scenarios: 3 items. Fits in same envelope. Total weight should be around 120g (30g + 40g packaging + 50g env.) 5 items. Still fits in same envelope. Total weight should be around 150g (50g + 50g packaging + 50g env.) 10 items. I need a box here. Total weight would be around 250g (100g + 70g packaging + 80g for box) What weight should I put to my item when I set list it? What rule should I use for combined shipping : add all weights or add all weight minus an amont. If the latter, what amount? Thanks

Hi, How do I get more leads on my listing? I did not get any leads for a month. I do not know how to improve my listings. I would request you to help me to get at least a few leads. Thanks, Dream.

Hello, For my first item posted I accidentally listed an item as an auction. I will list red flags in hindsight. I wanted to take it down but realized that I had a bid. I saw the bid message which asked me to text them (red flag). First, they asked me to confirm my buyer ID to ensure they were talking to the right person. I asked if they could retract it and they said they wanted to buy it for their cousin so they'll put in an extra $50. I said no problems I can add an extra game as well - they then responded they would pay a total of $500 if I help them get vanilla (prepaid) cards. Red flag again. I remembered a common scam where prepaid gift cards are involved. I asked them to move the chat to eBay so I can get confirmation of all of this. They said they would and haven't responded for an hour replying that they will do it now. So lots of lessons learned here. Making sure that I check the item isn't an auction before posting. Not having messages outside of eBay. Being wary of people praying on new baby sellers.

Ebay's discounted southbound shipping rate was supposed to expire on March 31st, yet it's still active (I'm NOT complaining). Did ebay issue a statement saying that it was extended or now permanent... and I missed it? I'm just concerned that the discount will stop suddenly without notice and I will be caught off guard, as I only use Canada Post when there is a discount in effect... and Chit Chats when there is no discount.

Hi everyone Fairly new seller here, sold a new, sealed (but expired) printer cartridge, low value. Buyer received it and says the ink evaporated in the cartridge. Obviously I was not able to test but stated that it was expired in the listing. Buyer did not reach out to me and left a negative feedback. Not sure how important negative feedback is anymore but should I reach out to the buyer? Offer a refund? Contact eBay to try and get the negative feedback removed? Want to do the right thing but not sure how to proceed. Thanks in advance

Hi I'm Canadian and interested in expanding to eBay. Currently, I'm selling on Etsy and Shopify, and my POD provider is located in the US. Is it possible for Canadians to sell on eBay and ship from the US? I understand that I can't open a US-based account. Is there an option to indicate that I'm shipping from the US, so the buyer won't be misled? thx

I ship Canada to US mostly. I have never had anyone saying they paid duties going over the border while using both Fedex and Canada Post. Most orders are under 200.00 US. Have a 500.00US order, but am leary as I don't know when duties kick in? Does anyone here know?

Hi Everyone, We are going crazy trying to figure out a way to ship cd's at a reasonable cost to buyers. We just sent a 1 cd package in a bubble mailer with extra bubble wrap, It came in at 115 grams 19cm x 15cm x 3 cm--$13.43 and the buyer is only 6 hours from us. Anyone have tips, tricks or advice ? Feel bad charging that for shipping 1 cd. Should we skip the tracking and send a different way? Any info would be welcomed. Thanks

Hello eBay sellers in Canada, I'm diving into the world of e-commerce and eBay, and I'm particularly interested in refining my shipping strategy. I've heard about carrier subscriptions and various shipping services, but I'd love to hear your experiences and insights: 1. Carrier Subscriptions: - Have any of you explored carrier subscription programs like Canada Post's Solutions for Small Business or similar offerings from other carriers? - What kind of discounts and benefits have you received from these subscriptions? - Do you believe they are worth the investment for small to medium-sized eBay businesses? 2. Shipping Services: - Beyond standard postage options, are there any specific third-party shipping platforms or eBay's own shipping services you find particularly advantageous for your eBay business in Canada? - How have they simplified your shipping process? - Have you noticed any significant cost savings? 3. Common Challenges: - What challenges have you encountered when shipping items within Canada and internationally? - How did you tackle these issues? - Did the challenges involve shipping costs, customs, tracking, or customer satisfaction? 4. Tips for International Shipping: - For those who ship internationally, what advice do you have for navigating customs regulations, duties, and taxes effectively? - Are there any essential considerations or resources you rely on to ensure smooth cross-border transactions? 5. Free Shipping with Large and Small Items: - If you offer free shipping with both large and small items on eBay, what strategies do you recommend to manage shipping costs effectively? - How do you factor in the cost of shipping when setting prices for these items? - Any specific carriers or services you prefer for large or small item shipping, and why? Your insights and experiences will not only help me but also fellow sellers looking to enhance their eBay shipping processes in Canada, whether they're dealing with large or small items and offering free shipping.

Since yesterday, I have had an issue listing items with Canada Post Expedited Parcel - USA as the shipping option for U.S. customers. Even though the weight & dimensions were entered & the Expedited Parcel calculator for domestic (Canada) shipping works, the U.S. equivalent is not providing a shipping quote. It just simply says for the U.S. customer to contact me for a shipping rate. Has anyone else had this issue?

devon@ebay Was in the middle of adding some listings this morning when eBay suddenly made me login again. After doing so I am seeing a ton of glitches so posting in case anyone else sees them and to bring them up. Obvioulsy they seem to be doing some sort of update as a few things have been corrected but most persist. 1- My seller overview is now inviting me to open a store. I've had a store for years... 2 - My store shows 299 listings. I have almost 500 i can see them from seller overview but not in store view 3 - My sales in seller overview now show 0 over my history 4 - My listings eligible for offers is gone. 5 - Seller overview has a getting started window that when you click customize you can't remove 6 My traffic history is gone. Shows all 0's 7 Everytime I start a listing i get the "welcome to the new listing tool pop-up' 8 On said new listing page it's wiped out my 'defaults' and the shipping measurements are now in lbs and inches with no apparent way to change it. 9 - Saw this mentioned already but just noticed - Similar items now appear in the middle of our listings. That's ridiculous. Does no one do any QA before releasing updates? I have some background in QA I'm open to a contract position as a part time job I'm pretty sure i can test better then what you are doing.

When shipping sold Item to the buyer I should indicate return address on the parcel which is my actual home address. Is my confedentiality compromised thiss way? How can I protect my private data such as my home address from the buyer?
