Good news on American made goods - shipped using Zonos

I hope this info saves many canadian sellers like me 🙂 

Goods made in USA and shipped out from Canada, would be listed with 0 fee by Zonos.  Yay- at least some releive for me as I am selling mostly american made watches

That's great news! Do you have to pay any brokerage fees?

Could you please provide the link to proper Zonos site to get codes?  I tried a couple of them and was rejected registration because I am individual (not business).   Thank you very much! 🖥

Doesn't change anything for me. I refuse to sell to Americans and these ridiculous tariff/duty or whatever it is. This will kill thousands of sellers and I wonder how long until eBay pulls the plug on the Canadian site.

As far as I know, for any CUSMA compliant listings, one has to have a business reg. number..I am an indivudual, not a registered business, so eff that!

I recall a recent notice from Canada Post advising SFSB customers to wait for a direct link to  integrate Zonos with their account...at no charge.

 

Anyone received that email/link yet? If not, any update on ETA?

My guess is that the Canadian site will be pretty safe. There were A LOT of Canadians who listed only on dot com who will now likely be switching to dot ca. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see a big surge in eBay Canada's overall numbers, maybe up closer to Australia in overall percentage.

We are in the same boat. I used to list mainly on .com in USD$ for near 25 years. It took several hours to move all my vintage Swiss made watches listings to .ca (39% tariffs). I won't pay those orange guy's tariffs from my pocket, and I don't want any bad surprises for my regular U.S buyers (and no more shipping option to USA for them). So I kept all the American made pocket watches available, signed up for Zonos, it went well for my first ifficial U.S. sale since Aug. 29th! I just hope Ebay clarifies in their listings that items are shipped DDP. I will only sell "USade, duty free items for USA". Even with the Deminimis gone it will bring a couple sales.

I took all my Swiss coins down and have them ready to move to the .ca site (on the store associated with this account). I left the stamps up because I'm exhausted from making all these changes and decided I will live with tariffs on certain things just so they sell... margins are tight on my Swiss coins so I can't pay 39% tariff (and people won't buy if I increase prices, but I did increase shipping for the US on all my coins to help cover tariffs).

 

I've had a few US sales, but they generally happen after someone contacts me to talk about one of my listings and it gives me the opening to tell them how I ship (so that they won't have to pay them) and that any tariffs due are accounted for in the shipping charges added to the sale.
