Hi All,
I posted a parcel to the global shipping centre as per eBay instructions, it arrived safe and well, my part done as per their detailed instructions, or so I thought.
In between their centre and the customer the parcel was damaged.
I informed the purchaser they needed to pursue the problem with eBay, they did not listen and posted negative feedback before trying to find a solution.
I contacted eBay and they said they could not remove the feedback, I quote from their global shipping program information page -
“
So why won’t they remove the feedback?
Really upset, been selling on eBay since 2002 and never had negative feedback until now.
In future I will not ship abroad.
Any advice how to get this sorted?

I'd raise a little heck with them. Keep requesting it be removed per eBay's stated policy. In addition to call backs, you can try contacting them on social media here: https://twitter.com/askebay
https://www.facebook.com/eBay/
Leave the details in a PRIVATE message: Full name, address, phone number, email address, user ID, and a brief explanation of your problem. Quote the policy and include a link to that policy page. Hopefully you'll eventually get someone who cares enough to look into it.

Reach out to eBay for Business and consider the BBB. What it really comes down to is you the seller are eBay’s customer, and eBay does NOT provide any seller protection nor follow their own policies because they provide below standard service.

I have used google translate and your negative feedback reads" Disk cover damaged during transport because the packaging is too flexible."
Your post does not make clear whether you attempted to compensate the buyer or not. In my experience it is always better to offer a solution as this in most cases avoids negative feedback.
Your post does not make clear whether buyer opened an item not as described case therefore I make an assumption that eBay and GSP do not know of any issues and only thing eBay can see is buyers feedback and according to eBay's this feedback does not violates any eBay policies / does not meet criteria for removal.
I assume you had asked or your buyer had sent you photographs of item they received including packaging. If not then consider asking your buyer if these are available and to send you these and if there is anything you can do to compensate him for the inconvenience caused.
These photographs will provide evidence to you if packaging of your item was changed by GSP.
If the answer is YES then you could appeal the defect and draw their attention to the fact that packaging was changed by GSP therefore damage in transit occurred due to GSP'S packaging being not fit for purpose.
You could also revisit your own packaging of this item and in view of buyers comments determine whether packaging was fit for purpose.
You may or may not have put the CD in a cardboard box and then bubble wrapped it to protect it during transit.
I recently had a case where buyer claimed that an International item had arrived damaged (Case opened). No input from us required or provided and GSP confirmed that when they received the item from us there were no issues and damage occurred whilst goods were in their care, buyers case was closed with a full refund to him and we were not found to be at fault. GSP paid our buyer.
I hope this provides with some opportunity of having negative feedback removed.
