Shipping to Canada question

Now that PayPal and EBay have consciously uncoupled, I’m searching for alternatives for shipping to Canada. I used to be able to fill out customs and pay about the same as domestic rates for shipping in an 000 padded envelope through PayPal. Now, when I go through EBay shipping, it seems the cheapest is $10. Any alternatives? I would rather not have to go to the post office each time and fill out customs info and I suppose I could use International stamps on a PWE, but that seems cheap. Thoughts?

I don't have an answer for you Pumpsie, but it sure is great to see you. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I gave up shipping internationally years ago.
You can try paypal.com/shipnow, but I think it's the same rate to Canada with tracking that's eBay compliant. There was still an option for $3-4 last time I used it, but tracking stopped at the border IIRC.
Hey Whammy, give Pirate ship a try. I use them for all my non-eBay bubble mailing and they are pretty easy to use. It looks like it will cost $13.54 for 1 to 8 ounces and $20.19 for 19 to 32 ounces for tracked shipping to Canada. Those are the rates for bubble mailers. There is also box pricing and there are prices for 3 pounds and 4 pounds as well.
I think the only option for Canada other than the $11 ebay international is just a $2 international stamp without tracking.....
PayPal Ship Now is the best option if you don't need tracking. Its like $2.50.
Hey, N....Nam812. Likewise. Thanks, all, the PayPal ship now feature worked like the old days. I guess I was going through Multi Shipping instead and couldn’t get it to be just a letter. See you all in about 4 weeks.
