Global Shipping Program

[so-much-out-there]

After I've joined the GSP, my sales decreased dramatically, about 99%. Today I found out that the GPS charged this buyer $45.73 USD to ship a 1 lb AG toy set!!! No wonder I've lost all my potential international buyers! Therefore, I've decided to use the GSP just for expensive items.

How much of that was customs fees?

Yes, Ebay charge your buyers in 2.5 times more it really costs .

Just quick good money for printing shipping label. Obviously you will loose most of your international buyers.

You probably had chosen Global shipping cuz you believe that GSP gives you protection from ``not received`` cases...You are wrong. I jumped to this program about 3 years ago when it just started. Well, when buyer opened ``not received`` case I was sure I got protection because it was EBAY who shipped item.

Nope.

I had to refund money. CS told me that according to sellers agreement Seller is responsible for lost items. Not 3rd party and not postal carriers.

So using this program you have no gains for sure. Very few international buyers are willing to pay $50 for shipping

You Just let Ebay making top $$ for printing shipping labels, thats it
