Closing All My Stores for shipping updates

[burgyeb]

Seems some were reporting the calculator as working, and then not working. I have added international shipping bak to 3 of my shops. Will work on the 4th shop this weekend or early next week.

I have one more shop to go then I'm done for the year.

Canada post rates are also going up? I did a cut and past from the other place since they were nice enought to spell it out.

On February 11th 2013, Canada Post will introduce two lower-cost trackable services for US and International shipments: Tracked Packet™ – USA and Tracked Packet™ – International. These services will be an attractive option for eBay sellers with shipments under 1kg to the USA, or under 2kg to other supported countries.

With the upcoming introduction of these two new services, Canada Post will retire the Small Packet – USA Ground service effective January 14th for customers using PayPal label printing. Small Packet – USA Ground service will be retired effective February 11th at Post Offices. Small Packet – International (Air & Ground) and Small Packet – USA Air will continue to be available at Post Offices and via PayPal label printing.

In addition, effective January 14th, liability coverage will no longer be available on any Small Packet services.

Tracked Packet™ – USA and Tracked Packet™ – International will become available via PayPal label printing at a special discounted rate for e*** sellers. We'll have more details regarding timing and label-printing discounts for these services early in the New Year.

In early February, the new Canada Post Tracked Packet™ USA and Tracked Packet™ International services will become available on e***.ca listing flows.

Also in early February, Small Packets USA – Ground will be removed from the available flat rate and calculated rate shipping service options

Nice of them to let me know even thought nothing from the post office.
So I guess I will be spending time checking all my listings to update rates.

Thanks for the information, Skysteed. I hadn't heard of this new option.

Here is the link to the Canada Post website.

Something else new to learn about. I haven't read this yet so don't know the details.

I recently had someone ask me about sending a single action figure overseas. Once I stated the price, I never heard from them again. And that was before the price increase. Even worse if people want to use tracking, which some some auction sites require if you don't want to be penalized.

Sadly the raise in shipping rates is going to hurt most sellers, shipping will cost more than the actual value of item.
