FYI: eBay Canada is ending shipping supply coupon for Store subscribers
Just a heads up - sellers in Canada are receiving notice today that shipping supply coupons for Store subscribers are being phased out.
Looks like so far it only impacts Canadian store subscribers - time will tell if it comes to the US as well.

OP1 year agoNow that's how you do seller engagement! Credit where due to Canada GM Garry Thaniel for this swift response. ðŸ‘
For extra bonus points next time though....make it a regular pinned topic that accepts replies. 😉

OP1 year ago@gurlcat yeah and the worst part is they didn't even try to sugar coat it by offering some other perk in return...I'm not a fan of PL ads but a quarterly ad credit for the same amount would have at least offered some pretense that eBay might think they have to try show some kind of value if they are going to keep the subscription cost the same, ya know? 😂
The coupon hadn't kept with with rising costs of course, just like it hasn't here, so I know the "value" is arguable but if it's the thought that counts well...it would at least be nice if eBay could at least spare the thought.
Maybe they'll come back with some new benefit but if that is in the plans, what a missed opportunity to not have it ready to go already to have a positive to include with the news.

·1 year agoJust think what a wise move giving some PL credit could potentially be, considering some of it would go to sellers who never used promotions before, so the credit would be like a free sample that could get some of them hooked. If they wanted to be sneaky they could even program the 'coupon' PL to give higher performance than it otherwise would for the rate, to make a big impression. 🤣

Hopefully when the US takes over Canada you will get that coupon restored again.
