eBay

I am curious to hear what you guys think will change (for better or for worse) this year if/ when the supreme court overturns trumps tariffs.

Do you guys think at some point ebay will get rid of the false tariff warning from listings that arent using the lousy EIS service?

Do you think we will be able to use Ebay Canada Post labels again at some point IF the tariffs are denounced by the supreme court? If not when do you think they would re-enable Canada Post labels? (please dont mention Zonos. I sell CUSMA products primarily and have not and will not ever use Zonos etc.). I am speaking from the perspective of the tariffs being forcefully removed from Canada via the supreme court and then it being an option again for Canadian sellers without the illegal 35% tariffs.

Also- I shouldnt even have to ask this but the trump administration are mobsters so I do have to ask - Do you think there will ever come a point where DDU is an option to the USA via Canada Post to USPS? Meaning The USA/ USPS would be required to do the duty collecting like how its done EVERYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH! ? I feel like its wishful thinking for the orange crime gang but logically youd think at some point thats how it would work.

In all of my listings I offer Canada Post for Canada and ALL international locations but I have to use 3rd party shipper for the USA because currently USPS wont accept DDU and do not handle CUSMA shipments. If it was a 2-5% tariff it wouldnt be a huge deal but 35% is an embargo.

EIS and the illegal tariffs are a huge thorn in the side of my business and have been since early fall as I am sure it has for many of you as well.

If ebay got rid of or carefully re-worded the tariff warning and/or USPS allowed DDU- both of these things following a favorable supreme court tariff ruling i'd be moving in the right direction to get back to some normalcy.

All thoughts welcomed!

As you suggest if your items take 3 weeks for you to deliver from Victoria to the USA it's not normal and a very bad buyer experience particularly if it's at EIS prices. This is a CP TP-Int order recently sent from Kelowna to Plymouth, Devon UK with no EIS involved. It's a recent CP TP order sent to Plymouth, Devon UK. The total freight buyer paid was $21.76. My label cost $16.76. In addition I rec'd a $5 handling charge. = $21.76. These days buyers in populated areas expect to see something they've bought internationally arrive inside of 10 days.

Ha ha, I'd say floating around for 6 days is more than a slowdown. It's a Toronto vacation.. ;>}

I stand by my experience with shipping to the USA.

It has however been noticeable that shipping to the EU and the UK has again in my experience been faster.

When I was doing a lot of tracked shipping (for an online auction house) normal arrivals were about 10 to 15 days while again USA arrivals were15 to 21 . Rarely more, but also rarely less.

That was in the 1990s.
