The company’s eBay Labels shipping platform is a convenient label-printing service that allows sellers to buy and print shipping labels directly on the marketplace to expedite order processing.
Until now, sellers using eBay Labels were eligible for Canada Post rates that matched the Solution for Small Business Level 1 discounts.
Starting on April 27, however, all Canada Post shipping rates purchased through eBay Labels will be equivalent to Solution for Small Business Level 4 discounts. This new discount is the highest available for small businesses.
In addition to the new lower prices, eBay sellers in Canada can also avoid costly delivery mistakes and delays through Canada Post’s address validation service, introduced last year. This avoids buyer and seller frustrations by helping deliver orders inside the platform’s estimated promise time.
