Canada Post's Find-A-Rate Tool - accuracy for eBay shipping costs?

I've been selling things on eBay for a little while now. I have mostly sold DVDs and video games up until now, because they are easy and cheap to ship (and I had a bunch to get rid of).

Now I am considering selling larger, bulkier items. I will only be shipping within North America and was wondering how well the Canada Post website's "Find-A-Rate" tool works. Has anyone had any major errors with it, or is it pretty accurate?

I'm saving for college so I don't want to get screwed on shipping costs. Trying to save all my profits. :P

Thanks for any help!

    I use it fairly frequently for my business, and I've not had a problem with it to date (a few years). The only area you might run into trouble with is package weight and dimensions -- make sure you have a decent scale, though, and you'll be fine.

    If you are in Canada, you fill out the Sell Your Item form and in the shipping section you indicate the Canadian shipping cost. It will be converted into the currency of the Ebay site the end user is looking at. The Buyer always pays the shipping.
