Updated rates for Canada Post services
Canada Post has also introduced a number of other updates to their eBay-negotiated rates when using eBay Labels.
- The promotional 8% discount on all Canada Post services except Expedited Lite has been made permanent.
- New, more granular weight ranges have been introduced for select Canada Post services.
Expedited Lite updates
In addition to the updated weight bands for all other Canada Post services on eBay, Expedited Lite - the specialized service for lightweight, domestic shipping- has been updated. The maximum weight for Expedited Lite has been updated to 250 grams, and new, more granular rates based on location applied.
Please note: due to a technical error, some sellers may have seen incorrectly high rates for select Canada Post services this week. eBay is addressing this issue and will issue automated credits for sellers impacted by these rates over the next 2-3 weeks.
As always, thank you for being part of the eBay seller community.
