Shipping to Canada on Ebay

I just shipped a 1oz #000 bubble mailer for $1.23 w/o delivery confirmation. Did it in person at the post office to fill out the customs form.

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew a round-about price I would have to pay to send a 3 ounce package to Canada WITH some sort of confirmation??? Just sold a few cards on ebay and I really don't want to get screwed.

Thanks in advance!
Scott

Again, while other services offer some semblance of security, if you speak to eBay/PayPal CS, they'll tell you EMI is the only truly safe method.

The USPS doesn't offer tracking on Priority Mail International Flat Rate envelopes or Flat Rate Small boxes; however, other flat rate boxes they do. The problem is, the biggest boxes have a much bigger cost. The benefit of EMI is that, while expensive, any sized package will receive tracking and the automatic $100 in insurance.

Great informative reply. I'd say /thread, but I think Fedex Express also offers tracked shipping to Canada for around $30 and Fedex Intl Ground offers the same for $15 (depending on weight, of course). Am I wrong?
