Learned Lesson with USPS Global Shipping Program

Ya'll do realize that sellers dictate NOTHING about the way operates the Seller Global program??? It is solely a way for Ebay sellers to feel more comfortable about shipping items international. But we don't dictate the prices Ebay charges for that.

I've used GSP as a seller about 10 times...........a few items have been claimed lost on the other end........one of them was a $300 item..........I have NEVER been charged back for a GSP sale. NEVER!

I feel its solid. Yes the buyer pays a very high amount on their end but that is their choice. If they did not like the charge, then they would simply not pay.

You'll be fine.

Peace, Mike

Another reason why I don't bother to even offer items I sell to international buyers. Just too much that can go wrong. Hell, it's hard enough just to get stuff to someone here inside the US at times.

Maybe I missed it, but no one on here claimed Ebay seller's dictate the GSP prices. The point some American sellers seem to be missing is that you can still ship normally to Canadian customers WITHOUT using the GSP. A number of items have sold far below what I would have paid if the seller wasn't using the ridiculous GSP, so in the end it's both sellers and buyers who lose using it.

Yep, I've watched cards go for much less than I was willing to pay due to GSP.

I've reached out to a few the last few years but due to their stance, have refused to use anything else.

Like I said, I understand why some choose to use it, but I also know, like was also previously mentioned, some sellers have no clue what their listings read as far as shipping fees go.

I've copied and pasted more than one in PM's to sellers and most times they are shocked at the amount EBay is charging. There is zero consistency anywhere and there is no doubt EBay is banking large on this scam.
