Need Help with E-Bay International Shipping Work Around !

thedutymon

Evening,

I didn't use to care, because shipping to Canada was cheap for single Graded and Lots of Raw cards, but now with most recent Post Office Rate Increase I'm about to just Edit all my listings to NO International shipping period.

Anyway, when somebody buys say 5-10 Individual Raw cards and they all together weigh less than 3 oz's, when I go to the page that asks for the weight, they Auto list each item I sold seperately, and I have to put in a weight for each item, but the least it will allow me to put in any field is 1 OZ. So I am not going to pay the new rates of like $5-$6 for 10 OZ's, when my actual weight is less than three oz's. So now I'm taking the 5th package this week to Canada direct to the Post Office so I only pay the real shipping.

Anybody have a workaround on this?

Thanks

Neil

I don't know how much international business you do... But going to the PO might be a viable option.

I don't know if it will a make a difference, but you can try printing the shipping label from PayPal rather than from ebay. The shipping interfaces in each are slightly different.

Neil, all you need is just 1 line. I understand that you'll see 5 lines filled for each of the 5 items purchased.
Just remove all the others and keep the first line. Weigh the package as one entity. I've done this for years and never had a problem.
I normally just type in PHOTOS, cos in a sense they are that.
