TomSwift Valued Member China 171 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 8:29 pm I recently had a huge battle with it. I bought an old pamphlet for $1.00 and with Global Shipping to China, the shipping charges were $38.00. Before I bid, I arranged with the seller the actual shipping charges ($2.35). When the time came for her to turn off Global Shipping, it became a disaster which involved numerous emails and misunderstandings. Took over a month but finally got it straightened out. It was the first time I ever dealt with it and the last. I have been temped to purchase a Post box across the line in Blaine, WA. I could go there every summer and pick up all my little things I buy. I wish Canada Post would get its act together and figure out how to work with the USPS for tracking and reasonable shipping charges. Too much to hope for of course. Report this Post to the Staff
allspice Pillar of the Community Canada 746 Posts	Posted 01/29/2014 10:42 pm Yeah, this program sucks! It's hard to find a seller who isn't using it! What gets me is that everything is going up, postage rates, ebay fees, etc. (which get passed onto the buyer), but why is it that Canada's duty-free amount hasn't changed in years or even decades?!? It's still $20 or under. Shouldn't it be $40 or even $60 by now? I think the US has $200 duty free. Not sure about other countries, but aren't we being duped Edited by allspice 01/29/2014 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7631 Posts	Posted 01/29/2014 10:53 pm As long as countries have revenue shortages they will try to tax, duty and skim their way to prosperity. As a Seller remember to opt out of the program; as a Buyer just don't buy from Sellers that use the GSP. Eventually, ebay will see it isn't working (ie making money) and will modify the program.

gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 6:56 pm we all need to message sellers that have this global shipping in place and explain how this is a rip off and will hurt their sales, I have already convinced a few to stop using it! if we all do this I think we can make a difference Report this Post to the Staff
pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 02/01/2014 11:47 pm I do this already and I get many thank you. What may be a better option; is writing a guide or review on the topic and have it posted on .com. This way you could send a link instead of repeating the whole explaination each time. I get tired out going into detail about the program. It's something we can add to our personal ebay pages. Report this Post to the Staff
