have friends who are new to Ebay and get 50 on Canadian site 50 on US site
Any seller can do this.
There are quirks-- you have to list in the currency of the site and use Flat Rate Shipping if you are not mailing from that country.
The Fifty Free is a promotion for sellers who do not subscribe to a Store.
However, since you have a Store, you should know that you can do the same with your Store-- double the number of your listings by using both sites at no extra charge.
PLUS 500 extra promotion as auction style listing every month?
EBay promotions are for the benefit of eBay.
If they want more listings in a category, they offer a Free Listing promotion in that category.
If they want more Auctions (which are dying out rapidly and down to only about 15% of transactions) they offer Free Auctions.
Generally customers do not want to bother with Auctions, so really we're not missing any sales by not using them.
he wanted just regular mail shipping
Lucky you only got a (removed) neg on that.
Since you refer to thickness limits, I assume you mean Canada Post's 2cm max for letterpost, which is not trackable?
No tracking, no proof of delivery. No proof of delivery, no protection against phoney Not Received disputes.
Most of us Canadians do go commando on tracking, but look into Solutions for Small Business and Paypal (or SnapShip or Shippo) labels. There are some parcel rate discounts as well as the option of Expedited service which does not appear on the CPO website.

But when a buyer demands cheaper (and usually that means untracked) shipping, it is a red flag for a planned scam.
I left ( another seller) a negative Ebay removed his negative within a few hours?
Some powersellers have the perk that no feedback can be left for them for seven days (not sure of the numbers there).
And of course, if the FB uses some terms or mentions disputes, it can be removed.
Ebay come on why am I paying for a store? they told me who has no store pays 10 percent fees ..get this I pay 9.1 percent
You also pay less for your listings.
Divide the number of listings by your Store subscription to learn how much you pay compared to the $35.35 you would be paying for your current 151 listings.
(First 50 would be free, the rest charged at 35c each.)
If you have a Basic Store you could list 250 items for your current $25 monthly-- and as mentioned above another 250 on dotCA.
And listings on dotCA are charged in loonies. There's a 25% saving right there.
Come over to the Canadian site and ask more questions about shipping. Let's not bore our neighbours with our problems.
