US address on a CDN account

[ytay99]

Starting on May 20th, Canada post is going to require all customs information be entered into their system either online before you go to the post office or the postal clerks will have to manually enter all the info on the customs label. This going to take forever if I have my usual every other day total of 20 packages. I have no inrentions on spending 45 minutes at the post office.

I then found out about chitchatexpress which is 3 minutes from my house, who charge way less to send the packages from a US border town with tracking and will also do international for a lot less. This seems like a dream come true, offer cheaper shipping with tracking. The lady I was talking to said there could also set me up with a US address???

I have 3 stealth CDN account which have been up and running for 2 years now with no problems attached to separate bank accounts and separate paypal accounts. My question is can I just change to a US address without any problem?? ..... I would think no because of the ip address and my history as a Canadian seller and using .ca, I would think this would raise red flags galore. I have read conflicting information re: this on these forums and wonder if anyone has done this on established accounts or am I asking for trouble.
I have also read where they just change the flag (not sure where to do that) and is this a simple solution. I obviously don't want to jeapordize three account over this. Has anyone got any experience in this or how to proceed smartly

Thanks

No you cant just change address to US without proper PP notification - start a new US account with US IP if you can

[ytay99]

yeah I figured that, something to note for a future account

Thanks rsot

@YTAY I am going to chitchat today its a lil hike for me - but wanting to check out their system - I have a US stealth account but was also told by chitchat I can switch my .ca ebay address to theirs? I am hoping there is some way as my ebay.ca has a better Feedback - the stealth US one is new and no feedback limits etc.....Will post once I find out - I know there are answers here but surely to God there is a way???

Switch the address on the eb.com site to Canadian? Why would you want to do that?

[macgal]

@rsot I want to change my eb.ca to a USA one - it has feedback - not sure if I can this late ein the stage I do have a US IP as well .....

[rsot]

Oh switch to a US address...I could still see the issue with ID documentation required by eB.

I would just list my auctions on eb.com and change sender's origin (auction option field) - simpler like that

[macgal]

@RSOT are you saying I can list with my EB.ca to a .com and ship within US via chitchat?

[rsot]

You can log onto eb.com and list there - change location to whichever you want...and ship with your chosen service
