I have a possible buyer in Canada, even though my listing says US only. If I revise the listing to include international shipping for her, when I go to Paypal to print the shipping label, does it take into account that it’s going to Canada? Or do I have to do something different
If you add international shipping to your listing, yes when you go to print your label, Paypal will know it is going to the buyer’s address in Canada; however, Paypal will only print labels for USPS PRIORITy mail for international shipments. If you want to ship it the cheapest way possible to Canada, you would need to go to the post office and wait in line to ship it First Class.
I personally will NOT ship first class when shipping internationally because I do not have time to wait in line at the post office. USPS priority mail international comes with $100 shipping insurance also and First Class does not.
For international shipping I select Calculate for shipping and put the weight and let eBay calculate the shipping, but if the item will fint in a SMALL flat rate box, then that to Canada is approx $11 or $10.50 and to other countries is only $12.95 so if it will fit in a SMALL flat rate box (that’s priority mail) I will ship it that way internationally.
