My feeling exactly. I can't see why they'd want the bother of all that processing but maybe that's the justification for extra costs. I understand their desire to chip a few more chunks of the total tally of each sold item but my cynical assumption is they charge the taxes, keep them and then mi

Kirby,   Germany only charges an import tax for movie posters, but no custom duties. Since I run a business, those import charges are fully refundable for me.   Yet, when you ship through ebay‘s GSP, I pay those duties to Pitney Bowes and they are not refundable to me. For all I know, they simp

I hear you helmet.  The charging sales tax was a big burden they didn't need to take on but they float millions until they do their accounting..  and I'm not sure I want to give them my sales tax license number.  Who knows who they share that info with best everyone!  Marty -Original Messa

Sorry, Kirby, but I and a lot of others here in the UK think eBay's Global Shipping Program is a total rip-off. I refuse to buy from any seller who insists I use it. Tommy On Sat, 27 Jun 2020 at 16:16, Kirby McDaniel wrote: > We use the Ebay Global Shipping program, and it is very easy for sell

Actually, shipping from Germany to most countries is more or less back to normal again, EXCEPT the US, of course. There are still severe restrictions and additional fees and delivery can take forever. I checked on one package earlier this week, and after more than three weeks, it looks like it h

Good for you! I've had a couple recent transactions on ebay that have been awful. Mainly it's due to the global shipping program, a great excuse for ebay to take a little more out of buyer's and, I assume, seller's pockets. It's terrible and it takes forever and the tracking is completely usele
