Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to inquire about using Gofo Express for shipping customer orders. Does eBay support Gofo Express?
For those who have experience using Gofo, could you kindly share your feedback regarding their services?
Additionally, is it necessary to mention in the product description that we are using Gofo? Can buyers select Gofo Express during checkout?
I would greatly appreciate your insights on these queries.
Thank you very much.

·3 weeks agoI use GOFO because my shipper has an account with them. My shipper (Stallion Express) is integrated with eBay, so whether the GOFO barcode is integrated or not doesn't seem to matter, my shipper's tracking shows up on eBay and that's the tracking number I use.
GOFO doesn't deliver everywhere. I don't use it for deliveries to apartment complexes, shady neighbourhoods, or any densely populated area where the neighbour might steal the package (like Brooklyn or the Bronx). I don't use it for high valued items. My shipper won't return anything to me that GOFO is unable to deliver, so I won't use it for anything that can't be easily replaced or will cause big disappointment if it's undeliverable. For my $10 items it works fine.
They take pictures when they deliver (like Purolator or Amazon). They'll photograph the label on the package, the house showing the house number, and a picture of where they leave the package. I checked one GOFO tracking for a customer I had concerns about and was impressed by the great service they provide above and beyond what I can see on USPS's site.

·3 weeks agoThere are already Ebay sellers using GoFo. I have received purchases from them. Never bothered to look at the tracking.'
My understanding is GoFo requires a high minimum number of shipments.
I met our local GoFo delivery person, a well dressed gentleman in a jacket and tie, driving a late model BMW.

·3 weeks ago · EditedNo, casual, independent eBay sellers cannot use GOFO in the traditional way you would use USPS, UPS, or FedEx. You cannot walk into a storefront or drop off a single package at a retail counter, because GOFO does not have public drop-off locations.
To use GOFO, you need to schedule recurring warehouse pickups. If you operate a larger eBay business with a dedicated warehouse or ship hundreds of items a week, you can request a commercial account directly through their official website.

eBay won't ever be integrated with GOFO.
And eBay would never tell you to GOFO your package.

·3 weeks agoYou may use any company you wish.
You may use Bob's Shipping Service.
but if it's not a ebay recognized carrier, the tracking means nothing to ebay and you will lose any INR (item not received) case.

·3 weeks ago@preefern-0 ,
Just curious why not use USPS, UPS, or Fedex? Are they cheaper? Never heard of them.

OP3 weeks agoUps and fedex are ok but when you ship item less than $20 its expensive to pay $5 to $ 7 , whare gofo can be done at $3-$4 but usps is worst most of package go missing or stuck at post office
