Damn, just lost out on all the auctions I listed last week because for some reason they were listed as only shipping to Canada, even though I have "Ship to the United States and the following: (Canada checked)". All I had to do (from ebay) was revise the item, click Edit Shipping Preferences, immediately hit Save, and submit revisions, bam, problem fixed! What's up with that?

I'm having the exact same problem - it has been happening ever since Vendio changed how the ship to field is displayed on the ad creation screen.

Suggestion: Put the shipping information in the description. I use fixed prices so it's easier just to list the fees - US $12, Can & Alaska $15, Overseas $28, however I think you can still mention where you are willing to ship as part of the description. Then point them to a shipping calculator on one of the other websites like USPS or UPS if you have variable shipping fees. Then you are covered if Vendio makes sudden changes like they did.
The other suggestion for shipping is to use a Dollar value ie: $10 - $50. 15% etc. etc.
I would just as soon not have the Vendio Shipping charges listed.
My big issue right now with Vendio is how to link the shipping to UPS with my existing account. Can't be done as far as I can see. Anyone else tried to do this? It's a new service but I can't figure out how to use it. Vendio was no help.
