Hi everyone, this is Ira Grossman from eBay's Shipping team. I’m very excited to announce that eBay Canada’s Shipping Calculator is now live-to-site on www.ebay.ca. Calculated shipping is a free and simple-to-use feature that allows you to easily include shipping costs in your listings on ebay.ca (in English or French).

Calculated shipping will allow you to:
  • Automatically calculate and display accurate Canada Post domestic, US and international shipping costs in the item listing and eBay search results, based on the buyer's location;
  • Research domestic, US and international Canada Post shipping services and costs, based on your item’s weight, dimensions, and location.
  • Calculated shipping will help you:
  • Increase sales. Listings that include calculated shipping costs are more likely to end in a sale.
  • Improve efficiency. The need to manually research and calculate shipping costs is eliminated.
  • Save time. Emails from buyers about shipping costs will be reduced.
  • Speed up checkout. Pre-filled shipping details make it easy and quick for buyers to checkout.
  • Build customer loyalty. Up-front, accurate shipping costs enhance the buyer's experience, building trust and chances of repeat purchases.
  • To learn more about the Calculator, please see our information page.

    We will also be hosting a workshop to cover this new feature and answer your questions on Wednesday, November 21, 2007, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET. I hope you’ll stop by!

    Sincerely,

    Ira Grossman
