Thanks lobeau for this awesome info 
Little-known fact:
Canada Post supplies FREE clear-plastic self-adhesive label pouches (known as Labelopes) for housing printed mailing labels
and FREE plastic 16 x 12″ mailing envelopes (known as eBay Paks)
to Canadian eBay Sellers!
Even my local post office did not know this!
There are 2 ways to get them: at your post office or via Canada Post’s website.
I consider myself resourceful and computer savvy, but I had the HARDEST time finding these supplies! First, my post office had no knowledge of such free items. Then, a second post office was able to provide me with Labelopes, but not the eBay Pak, and the case was the same with a third post office. I then decided to try to order them on line — well, not an easy task. So I am writing this guide to save fellow Canadian Sellers all the time and efforts I had to deploy to attain this goal.
- You will need a Canada Post VentureOne customer number, if you do not already have one. Enter the CanadaPost.ca website and go to VentureOne: Savings for Small Business located under the Business section and click on “SIGN ME UP NOW!”. Fill in the form to register. You will receive a member’s card within 3 to 4 weeks through the mail, but in the meantime, you can ask for your customer number by calling their Help Centre at 1–877-262‑5762.
- Once you have your customer number, you will have to create a UserID and Password. On the CanadaPost.ca homepage, click on Login to Business Centre under the Business section: you will then find a place where to click when you need a new UserID. Enter your Canada Post Customer Number (no agreement number required) and go on to create your UserID (5 to 10 characters) and Password (5 to 8 characters).
- You are now ready to shop. Just go again to Login to Business Centre. Once you are logged in, click on “Store — Order Products and Supplies”.
- You will find the 2 items listed under eBay Shipping Supplies — eBay Supplies. At the time of this posting, they read as follows:
- eBay Pak, Product # 533086682, $0.20 (Note: they need to be ordered by multiples of 25)
– Int’l Labelope, Product # 520012555, $0.07DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE PRICES!!! THESE ARE FREE. Just enter the quantity you require and add them to your shopping cart. You will see that they show at $0.00 when you view your cart.

Thank you for your trouble in figuring this out. I can never quite grasp their motive for making things so difficult! I already had the required ID’s, so I went in and ordered. It took many tries for the products to show up in the eBay category. Eventually I got them into the cart and then the quantities spontaneously changed. Crazy. But I’m glad to have the items as I will make good use of them.
Canada Post is still as loco as ever.
I have actually received these already, there was no cost!
This worked! Awesome thanks so much!
Thank you so much i appreciate this!
I had no trouble at all getting these off there online site, They arrived 2 days later expresspost.. best part was it all was free!
I got these the same week I ordered them! FANTASTIC!!
Thanks!

Hi,
I just tried this and it did not work. It let me have the labelope for free but not the eBay pack. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Katie
i just ordered them and viewed the shopping cart, the total gross price is not $0, there is a figure. so i think it may not be free anymore now. anyone can confirm this? thanks!
