So payment of shipping goes through eBay if done on-line? Could be bad in the long run.....

Make sure you are comparing the correct items.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something here but isn't a 1 oz envelope to Canada 85 cents at the PO ?

Dang it. I just messed around with Print Shipping labels for packages I sent last week to Canada,
and yea, it's about a $1 + jump. Most of my pacakges to Canada are 2 to 5 ounces.
Looks like .15 for every ounce after 1 ounce startig at $3 now.....grrrr. Guess it's time to change the
price on the listings.

This is for First Class International Package/thick envelope.
I have no idea what the price is for a regular letter since I don't send anything in a PWE.

That is correct for a 1 oz letter, a large envelope is $1.50 and a package is $3. The OP is confusing a large envelope and a package.

EagleEyeKid

I just looked again at Ebay's Print Shipping labels.
It says First Class International Package/Thick envelope.
That's the only one that's $3 for 1 ounce and .15 for each additional ounce.
Ebay obviously doesn't do letters.

yeah the lone way to ship through ebay now is package/thick envelope

Are we able to print USPS Intl. First Class through eBay now? If so, I would overlook the price increase because I HATE going to the post office for intl. packages.

yes, when you click on print shipping label all you need to do is weigh the package and you can fill out the customs forms on there as well. Very convenient but for int shipping now its quite costly.

I knew you could do this for Priority and up, but now First Class is available too? Good.

MOrning,

And I just took a less> than 1 ounce Test Bubble Mailer to my Post Office here, and to Canada it is now $3.15, last week Non E-Bay (Post Office) Shipping was $1.84, I'd say that's a little bit of an increase. Looks like I am going to have to Bulk Edit my listings and up all International shipping. Don't know what a less than an ounce First Class International Canada Bubble Mailer will be with E-Bay shipping, but its going to be close to the Take to the Post Office cost. Prepare to have a drop in Sales to North of the Border if you up your shipping to get anywhere near close to real world costs.
