The benefits of the FRB to Sellers:

• Easier to list: Takes the guesswork out of shipping
• Likelier to sell successfully: Listings that include accurate shipping costs are more likely to end in a sale.
• Simpler to ship: Purchase and print a Canada Post Flat Rate Box shipping label through eBay
• Better buyer experience: Online tracking and delivery confirmation, and an on-time delivery guarantee within Canada using Canada Post’s Expedited Parcel(TM) services.

Mr. Lobo

Yesterday we took pictures with Flat Stanley and a few members of the eBay Canada team. I had never heard of Flat Stanley before nor did I know about the project or thousands of locations, people, places and countries Flat Stanley has been to. It was cool to be involved in one more of Flat Stanley’s many adventures/projects. Read more about Flat Stanley here.

Last week was a crazy work week as eBay Canada launched its site in French. A really exciting time at the Canada office and something we are very proud about. A fun fact – there were approximately 9 million words translated into French which was just incredible. You can visit the French site at http://www.cafr.ebay.ca. To launch the French site we had a charity auction which was labelled the Cristobal Huet Experience (Cristobal is the goal keeper for the Montreal Canadians). You can check out the bidding here (It’s up to CAD $17,200 the last time I checked – wow!). We also have a really cool free HockeyPool happening with some great prizes. You can go to the HockeyPool by clicking here.

You will need to register on eBay.ca to take part in either of the events mentioned above.

Folks I will be leaving DCI for eBay Canada at the end of this month. I will connect with you all via email to give you my new contact details. All exciting stuff all the time…

I have also become an eBay seller and would appreciate it if you could provide me with General feedback (If you use eBay) that will help my products sell faster and help buyers trust me! I am known as Mr. Lobo (mrlobo3000) on eBay as well.
