Be careful, I did this and it shows my CC as the main source but it still selects my Checking account as the initial payment source.
Same here. PayPal wants you to pay via ba (no, not the Chase cc), I'm sure they get millions of people accidentally doing that every year. In fact, I just accidentally made an order through my ba, so I immediately cancelled & reordered with a cc.

The only way to revert to CC is by removing the checking.

I just found out about eBay Bucks.
Are there other methods of saving money on eBay that I am not aware of?

"Hi, are you able to ship to Vancouver, BC, Canada, and to combine shipping? I plan to bid on both of the ******** you have available. Thanks.


If you're not, I have a US address I can use, but the Canadian one would be a lot more convenient. Since it's just paper, I presume the shipping cost wouldn't be significantly higher, if at all. Thanks."

I received this email and the buyer has 100% positive feedback, from 35 people. Is there anything to be concerned shipping it there? (Don't worry about the cost)

He won the bid?
If yes I would do it because he is just requesting a change in address.
Did I under stand your question correctly?

He wants to win the bid on both, and he's asking if I'd ship and only charge shipping once, which I would do, and ship to Canada.

The shipping on his profile is Canada or USA?

I would do it.

But I am not fully understanding what he wants you to do more than just charge shipping once.
Is there more to it that I'm missing?

Nope, just making sure. I haven't ever shipped out of the USA.

You don't have to wait on hold, you can have them call you.

You like that better?!
That was not my point; my point was that they themselves don't know any info they just know 1st grade English with a Spanish accent. Just look it up online you will understand it much better and it will take less time.

Ide say I half agree, it depends on the rep some of them really know their stuff and are actually helpful. But in truth the times where I got info I couldnt find online was only @Amazon. Whenever I call Ebay I probably couldve found it online but didnt want to spend the time

Anyone else sick of the recent eBay Daily Deals?
They've been more or less terrible the past month.
Please just get rid of the REFURBS!

When will they realize that they need to start draining more money into deals that we can sell on Amazon?

Are you allowed to reconfigure (fold it taller but thinner) a USPS Priority Flat Rate Box?
