I've come to the conclusion I'm wasting my time on eBay these days .................the Global Shipping Program is a Royal Rip-Off and I don't see WHY I should pay $50us or more for a magazine that the Publisher only charges $5Aus to send to Australia?  I've asked if some sellers (POLITELY I might add) if they can opt out of selling to me without GSP and either been ignored or insulted. My preferences in hobbies on eBay are getting to the stage also that sellers are charging 2x or 3x the current retail value of something...Japan are the worst!.   I think I'll stick to shopping at retail outlets..................eBay used to be fun and a place to pick up good deals.....but no more!
