It is a bit late to be demanding an inestigation into the GSP....it has been in use for years now and is unlikely to be stopped any time soon.

On the plus side, so many US sellers that sell items I'd like to buy now use it, I now spend much less money on eBay and my savings are looking very healthy. eBay's measly 5% off vouchers aren't much of an incentive either. ๐

Kudos to you skillycoro . You have summed this scam up in 11 words. It's almost like Mafia type extortion.

On the down side, some US sellers that sell items I'd like to buy, I have to avoid becauase of he outrageous cost with GSP. The ones that don't use it any more and who go back to USPS are getting more and more customers. I now spend much less money on eBay and my savings would be looking very healthy, but the GST an import duty are like a kick in the guts.

You know, generally speaking we all have choices with eBay. Sadly some sellers, buyers too, make bad choices. Iโm no expert, but just from my examination the GSP would be one of them. eBay Plus, another. Not being derogatory, well at least thatโs not my intention, just my opinion.
I think itโs wise to stay as autonomous as you can and not become too locked in with with some of these so called โinitiativesโ from eBay,
Whatโs in it for me? Whatโs in it for them, usually provides the right way forward.

I LOOOOVE the GSP! It means I can get rare collectables from the US (and more recently the UK) that I would never normally be able to get. Quite a few sellers I buy from have no idea they are opted into the GSP and I don't plan to tell them any time soon. That is evident by their ads saying "I don't post international". They have no idea they are posting international and I'm getting the items I want. Win win!
