I'll confess to having sold stuff via the GSP, mostly because I couldn't really face looking up the cost to ship to lots of different countries and fill that in on eBay for each item along with then doing the customs paperwork, just popping it in the post within the UK was certainly less stress. I have felt massively guilty over the price because having spoken to some buyers I realise the costs are quite high. There is also the issue that you can't combine shipping so I've had buyers stung for two lots of shipping for two Citadel blisters and of course there was nothing I could do within eBay short of canceling the sale. I guess I should bite the bullet and figure out how to use the shipping rate tables and spend an afternoon at least working out prices to a decent handful of countries.

I was looking at Royal Mail and you ( I didn't see it ) don't have flat rate shipping. That's unfortunate and complicate things even more. Not to mention that World tables. My suggestion is that you simply look world wide so if for your item, blister ( character ) that's like 100g with packaging, so you take look Tracking International for it so if cheapest is 8 GBP and most expensive is 10 GBP, then charge 10 GBP because Ebay takes % from shipping also. We got flat rate International Tracked and flat rate Priority Registered so I don't have those troubles, and for customs, ladies in Post Office fill the forms.

I was WRONG about eBay Global Shipping Program / GSP versus eBay International Standard Delivery

According to the above video, there's something called International Standard Delivery(ISD). According to her, it's cheaper, but doesn't have all the protections. Not sure how it works, as I've never seen it as an option from eBay UK sellers. Even though she defends the benefits of GSP, it's not a ringing endorsement when her buyer ended up with an empty box! She did say she and the buyer were refunded, but what a disappointment!

International Standard I had marked on listings. That was something that you choose ( I did because of longer days of estimate and didn't sound horrible like Economy Shipping ). I sent everything with Registered Priority ( Signed ), International tracked or as a packet. They all got tracking but only with registered or packet you can track it in sense if it's lost then they have to locate it. International tracked is dead in water with tracking it but you do see when it leaves country and the root it takes to destination ( USPS makes best info as they update it every time shipment change truck or something, worst are Canada and Australia, never got info if item entered country ). I didn't watch video but I do know when seller offered standard international it depends on country. Like Japan, usually it's tracked. UK usually isn't tracked.

Here in Croatia, you cannot sent something like metal mini or any other item without tracking. They all go by plane. You can sent postcard or similar as letter without tracked but items strictly with tracking. Some countries will allow you to send items without tracking like UK, got plenty of items without tracking. If it's lost you can only imagine how it looked hehe Other thing is refund if lost. Here, Priority is x5 postage fee, Tracked 0 and for packet they refund shipping fee. I don't know how it works in other countries.

They might send it via PBI regardless ? Is that ISD some kind of option from Ebay as type of their method of delivery like GSP or?

How shipping fee working out with Ebay. When I sold something and I charge as post service charge me, so I send something for 5 GBP shipping but Ebay took 1 GBP from shipping so basically I lost few quids here and there every time. If seller go with GSP does Ebay take shipping fee into % that they charge?

Goodness me, what she's on about? She never used it. OK, so that's Ebay shipping program No.2? Seems to me great for sellers like her, she doesn't give flying Finn if something is lost or damaged, seems to me. Between the lines I think. First few minutes of a video I was thinking "How's this in English?", was expecting Italian hehe she almost flew but I bet she levitate a little hehe

Couldn't watch it. I did manage to 13 minutes before I blew my head gasket hehe My apologies to Italian remarks. Most of Italians ( or those that live in Italy for decades ) I've meet and know ( some are very close relatives ), compared to this women, are charming and passionate while talking, explaining or describing. This women's only passion is money and as I said above, she couldn't care less what happens to your birthday present or similar. She's happy as long she can keep the money. Terrible seller with no more than two grains of salt. She even got sponsors! I'll be honest, after 10 minutes I was hopping to see another commercial. She said she never used ISD and if the fashion of thinking and presentation ( explanation ) is in same league as her content to up until 13 minutes, I think there's more chance to find out something about Ebay ISD by asking complete stranger on the street.

This GSP is horrible. I mean, if they don't see it they open the sealed boxes? I do understand for things that runs on batteries as they're prohibited to ship. There is a catch when batteries can go with product and when they cannot but I can't remember. What they do is nothing more than what customs in any country would do but it seems that they don't have scanners so they open up everything?

Also, according to her, this GSP is scammers fantasy land. I mean, they refund just because some one said it was used?
