Canada Post and Ebay Label Surcharge Free Scam

When you try to fight a wrong label charge, Ebay will tell you to talk to Canada Post, and Canada Post will say to talk to eBay. Went through 2 different supervisors on either side, and it's been a good waste of time. It's honestly shameless, more so on eBay's side since they are the actual buyer of the label but will bring up any excuses as to why they are "unable" to. 

At the end of the day, you (the seller) just get clowned and get to eat the few bucks they make off of you for free. Over a year probably adds up to a couple of hundred, if not thousands, for the larger sellers.

Canada Post and Ebay Label Surcharge Free Scam

In what way was the label charge "wrong"?

Was the package larger or smaller than the rate you were charged?
Was the package a tube (including those triangular tubes) for which there is a surcharge?

Was the shipment going to a remote location like Old Crow NT?

If you phone eBay, you will get a subcontractor in Utah or the Philippines, not an eBay employee.

 

The phone reps have a terrible reputation for getting you off the phone as soon as possible even if that means giving you the advice you want to hear instead of the advice you need to have.

Your options will be on the left. If you use the link below you can only get to the Automated Assistant or Chat box type AGENT in the box and hit enter. You will then get more options. Not all options are available 24/7. It will depend on staffing available. So sometimes you can request a call back and sometimes you can't. Sometimes you have the Chat option available and other times it won't me. If it is important to you to use one of those options, just try back later.



The social media Chat accounts are covered by trained eBay employees with some authority.
And you get a transcript so you can compare what you heard with what you were told.
