Global Shipping Program fail

I changed a listing to allow international bidding and sold an item destined for Australia. I bought postage for a small flat-rate box and was charged $39+. The label had the Aussie address on it. Was my listing change not recognized? The only USPS options available were all Priority Mail. The buyer was charged $15, which is closer to what I had expected to pay on the U.S. leg of the trip.

Anybody have a good guess as to what happened?

You should just be able to ship whatever priority is here in USA You don't have to worry about the price the buyer pays to ship overseas, Global Shipping does that. You just crate a label that ships to Kansas I think where it the Global Shipping Station is.

Yes, and from the US to Europe for example, GSP chasrges the buyer twice the going rate and takes over a month for delivery while often delivering the package without any customs paperwork. Completely unacceptable and why I generally DO NOT buy anything from sellers who use GSP. My ebay purchases are down to about 5% of what they once were as a direct result. For ebay sellers, penny wise, dollar foolish
