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?

gilstrachan

Is it okay to ship a sold item from a different address when I am away from home? I don't want to change the posted fee, I just want to send from somewhere else because I won't be home when the auction ends.

Why my listing not showing up after 24 hours despite all the conditions met?

drinfidel

A buyer wants to buy an item that was listed previously but sold to someone else. I have a second identical item. This buyer has just purchased something else from me so we are communicating. Is there any way to sell direct to him through ebay without creating a public listing? Usually I just re-list and give these buyers an advance warning so they can get it right away if they want.

Hey guys the last 3 items I have sold say that the seller has not specified shipping options. Everything looks good . What am I doing wrong

I AM A BIT CONFUSED WITH MY NEW ITEMS THAT I PUT ON EBAY, I CANNOT PUT A BUY NOW ANYMORE , WHY?

aliuh

Haven't used Ebay in a little while, and the shipping tool for listings has changed. Was trying to list something but I only have three options to ship now: Standard Shipping: small to medium items Freight: Oversized items Local Pickup Only: sell to buyers near you My problem, my package is 5lb which is over the 2kg limit for Standard Shipping. My only other option is Freight? That doesn't make sense to me. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, Since I listed my items, I am receiving offers all from the US. An eBay expert in another discussion told me that in my listing I have mentioned that I ship to the US. I have mistakenly done that, I didn't know I can ship to the US. My questions are: 1. How would I delete that? From where should exclude the "shipment to the US" from my listing? 2. If I decide to ship to the US as well, are there any ways I can mention 2 different shipment fees in my listing? I mean I want to mention it like this: for example, $20 Canada shipments and $ 25 US shipments. (numbers are random.) 3. If yes, how? And do you suggest that I write 2 shipment fees in my listing? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello, Recently, I started using eBay. I have listed a few clothes. I am constantly receiving offers from the USA. In my listing, I mentioned that I ship only inside Canada. What is the reason for these offers? And what should I do to receive offers from inside Canada? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I am new here. I need expert help to learn a few things about selling on eBay. Your help is greatly appreciated. After listing my items, eBay redirected me to a page for "shipment label". Apparently, when I want to mail an item to customers, these eBay labels need to be printed & added to my package. 1. Is it worth it to use these labels? 2. How much do I have to pay for each? 3. I am selling some pre-owned & new clothes (my own clothes), what is the best packaging for clothes you suggest? And also something with a reasonable price. 4. And lastly, the shipping fee I have added for each of my listings is Approx. I also explained this in my item descriptions. As I don't know the exact dimensions & weight of each item. I checked the fee on the Canada Post website. Is it okay that I have provided an approximate price? Thank you in advance for any help you would be able to provide!

Hi, I am new here. I need expert help to learn a few things about selling on eBay. Your help is greatly appreciated. I have listed a few items to sell. However, I noticed their photos are not good enough. I want to retake their photos. I see that below each of my listings, it is written 4 days and 20 hours remaining. I want to deactivate my listing to add new photos to them & then activate them again. How can I do that? Also, why are we given only a few days to sell an item? What happens if we can't sell them in that duration? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi.Been buying on Ebay for years but just recently started selling.Listed my item for Canada ,USA shipping but during the listing I got a message from overseas (middle east) if I would ship to that country.I said yes as long as they pay the difference in shipping above and beyond what was stated in the listing. That person won the item and is now asking me to "open the option shipping to (country)".I have tried to figure out how to do this but after a few hours I am no closer to getting the answer.Can anyone point me in the right direction as I am brand new at selling and want to get this right.

Or are the .com coupons, only limited to .com listings? It would be strange if a .com only feature worked on your .ca listings, but it also would make some sense if the .ca listings had US shipping. Thanks for any help!

Buyer sniped auction. Then complained about shipping cost because insurance and signature are required. I sent screenshots of Canada post rates. I guess he didn’t believe that; he changed his address from California to Oregon “to check”. When I pointed out that this would incur CA sales tax and a _higher_ total, he changed it back. I agreed to eat the cost of shipping and sent him an updated invoice last night, for the original Oregon address. This morning, it has changed again to some “cargo” address in Germany!! I do not ship to Germany. The auction clearly states Canada and USA shipping only. He hasn’t paid yet, and I don’t want to nag with another message. All of these addresses are what eBay is giving me, not some random request through messaging. This is starting to look like a problem buyer… What would you do?

i have many items .i need sell on ebay it how can i do it

bedarjusti

I try to use whatever boxes I have on hand to ship things since I find Canada Post's boxes too expensive. I've recently sold a bundle of Wii games and figured I'd ship them in a Wii U box since it's convenient and dare I say thematically appropriate. There aren't any previous shipping labels attached to the box, but it's rather colorful with pictures and Nintendo's logo all over it. Am I allowed to ship it as is? Or should I wrap it up in Kraft paper first? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Still relatively new to selling on eBay.

Hi. When I view my active listings (I do not have a store). I see every listing has "ad not showing. Your ad rate is below the minimum." Then there is a blue edit listing button. Anyone else getting this? Are we now forced to pay more for promoted listings like the US sellers were recently? I also noticed my views were very low just recently. Wow. Just wow.

I am new here. Today, I received my first offer from a customer in the US, though I listed my item on eBay Canada. 1. Is it common to have customers from the US? 2. How should I handle the shipment? I asked both FedEx & Canada post, and they charge around CAD$52. 3. Can I ask the buyer to pay for the shipment? If so, how can they pay it? online? p.s. I have included free shipping in the shipment section of the item. But I don't see anywhere writing international free shiping. I don't think I mentioned that. Thank you!
