WARNING when BUYING or SELLING from USA Ebay Overseas

[flatout]

Also I had this happen 3 times in the past 2 months (and I have not ordered many more items then they so it was very frustrating).

I felt really bad for the sellers seeing hows it was not really their fault except for being suckered into the program with big promises.

Flatout while I certainly agree that all first-hand evidence of the GSP is very very worrying almost certainly to the point of it being a criminal fraudulent activity

I don't understand how you could receive GSP packages?

Did ebay expand the program outside the US?

Pitney Bowes is the name of the shipping program ebay uses, true

But any and every packing label printed direct from ebay will bear the pitney bowes label so not every pitney bowes package goes through the GSP center

Still GSP had a lot of potential but it seems to be just another way ebay can maintain more control on the money while magically lowering their personal risk

I still find the fact that simply emailing ebay customer support is like trying to herd cats utterly ridiculous and confirms how little they care about any of their customers

Must be mistaken on this then, must be back luck I was having and a coincidence the only the boxes with that printed labels were messed up. I thought that the sellers who opt in have it for even domestic packages... but this seems to not be the case.

I just got unlucky then.

Yeah that's what I thought it might be

Just wanted to make sure you knew it was the sellers fault as then you can try to fix it

Having ebay as the shipper would worry me greatly
