Attention Sellers GLOBAL SHIPPING IS A SCAM BY EBAY

[bikesstuff2015]

Sellers, if you want increase your sales dont use the global shipping program, , you dont see that the international customer is getting charged rediculous postage prices and not buying due to the rip off by EBAY who are scamming $millions daily

.Absolutely unacceptable monopolising money grab .

I have loooked at listing and was willing to buy untill I read it was GPS, then I said bye buy. I can easily get the same item with other sellers overseas who use regular registered post.

Well, you're proof then that sellers lose money when they use GSP. If the sellers didn't have GSP, you'd be buing off them.  Hopefully more folks will wake up to this.

4channel, you're on the selling board now - how about looking at the unlikely possibility that the GSP is introduced HERE from a seller's side.

1. They may well not be shipping overseas in the first place, so any international sale is a win for them.

2. When the GSP is used sellers have no problems with delivery to an international location - only to the GSP hub.

3. If they input the weight and dimensions of the parcel, the postage for the buyer is unlikely to be a lot different to AP's international postage rate.

I'm certain there's more examples on the positive side for sellers, but I can't think of any more at present.

Mind you I'm sure you have a whole plethora of negative aspects that you'll bring up.............again.

Padi, with GSP, smaller items are 3 times the cost of normal post in many cases. Also there's no combining. If you win 6 items off of a seller who has GSP, you pay 6 postage fees. If via GB Post or USPS, seller can put in 50 items in the parcel and you only pay the weight. 

This is why scores of people say Pitney Bowes are running a scam and I say I agree.

All the above is pertinent to BUYERS 4channel, 

You are fully aware of the steps a buyer can make to get around non-combination of items, yet still you won't acknowledge them.

To those buyers reading this, you can contact the seller to ask them make multiple listings that you're interested in into a single listing, with or without the GSP. (obviously with BIN prices for any auctions involved)

All of this is in reality a moot point since Pitney Bowes is very unlikely to bring in the GSP to Australia - think in  terms of the population and land mass of Australia compared to the population and land mass of both the USA and UK, the only countries to have the GSP at this stage.

So what makes you such an expert on the meaning of the OP?   It has never been explained.

Well, it may be a good way to have it explained. It could very well be a warning to Australian sellers that when the GSP is applied here, they could be losing customers if they allow themselves to be pushed into using it. I have already had international sellers tell me that when they went back to using UK Post etc, their sales went up. If OP is warning Aust sellers to not use GSP then it's doing them a favour.

OP also posted this in the "Selling" section.

I certainly won't be losing customers. If anything, I'll gain customers. I hope they DO bring GSP to Australia. I currently don't post overseas, but would certainly change that if GSP was brought in. Knowing the added protection I'd get as a seller, it would be a big win for me. Overseas buyers that wouldn't normally have access to my items, would now have access. A win for me and a win for the buyers.

It's only your perception that sellers are losing customers. I think you probably mean they are losing YOU as a customer. Sellers that I've bought from are not losing customers. All their items sell on the first listing, often for way more than they are worth.

Presumably you were replying to Tippy marwi, not the OP. In which case the quote below from her post must have gone right over your blinkers head.

Well, from what the sellers that have told me that their sales have increased since they dropped GSP and the buyers who avoid this scam, I'd say unless you're having a fire sale, you may not be that successful in finding buyers.

If you dislike freedon and would love to live in an every-aspect-of-your-life-being-controlled environment, then maybe you should embrace GSP like you say you will. Personally, I'll be on the freedom train heading in the opposite direction.
