I think we're getting at the same thing, but perhaps from a different angle. The GSP program is not the "problem,"--it's the credit card chargeback process. It's not just the GSP protections that go out the window with a chargeback--it's ALL eBay seller protections with ANY reason used for a chargeback.
Chargebacks are out of the hands of eBay, as far as protections or adjudicating an outcome, no matter what the buyer has claimed. Even an INR would be approved or denied by the credit card issuer. SNADS? Forget about it. And, as far as I'm aware, credit card issuers don't require the item be returned, unless someone knows differently.
I agree with the objection to uploading only one photo to defend against a chargeback. I wonder whether that's an eBay restriction or standard restriction among the credit card issuers themselves. Maybe someone reading this will know the answer. In the meantime, I've read posts saying a member has assembled several documents onto a surface and uploaded one photo that includes all documents. Again, I've not done that personally, so . . .
My personal take on chargebacks is that they're the latest scam that buyers have latched onto. Buyers claiming they don't recognize the transaction, when the entries on the majority of credit/debit card statements clearly display EBAY, for example, is bull. Buyers know the credit card issuer will side with them 99.99% of the time. It's disgusting, IMO.
