Canada Post shipping label adjustment runaround

I am hoping someone else has had this issue and can offer some guidence - I am getting the most frustrating runaround from eBay and Canada Post.

 

I sent a small toy expedited lite to Alberta - small box, under 200g - cost was $9.38

 

I just happened to be looking at my eBay transaction page today and noticed another charge of $14.28 shipping for the same order. There were no details and I couldn't see anything else I had sent with that total so I contacted eBay and was informed that it was a shipping adjustment from Canada Post and that to dispute it I needed to contact them directly.

 

So I contacted Canada Post but when they put the tracking in it comes up as belonging to a corporate account which is not me - of course because it is eBay's account so Canada Post tells me that eBay has to dispute it - I say are you sure because eBay told me I had to do it myself - so they give me the number to corporate billing and that department agrees that it is eBay's account and only eBay can file a dispute.

 

Sigh.

 

So I contact eBay again and tell them what Canada Post has said, they tell me they are wrong and I have to dispute it but I don't have anyway to do that as Canada Post is not linking me to that tracking number. So I ask them how can I dispute it and they send me a link the the ombudsman which you would use if Canada Post denied a claim. I don't have a claim number so not helpful. When I pointed that out they just gave me the whole spiel again about this was a "me" problem, not a "them" problem - oh and thanks for being a loyal eBay member for 24 years! LOL!

 

So if you made it through all of this does anyone have any experience navigating this little quagmire? Much appreciated!

 

Best, Lisamarie

Re: Canada Post shipping label adjustment runaround

I have a dozen or so lite shipments which I have been upcharged, which all were 100% correct (I round up my weight and sizes).

I've turned off expedited lite for now, which is going to drastically hurt my sales even further, which is especially harmful since I've also turned off USA sales.

Might be time to turn off my ebay store if we can't get proper support for Canadian sellers.
