If you go to the official eBay community forums you will find endless GSP horror stories and complaints along these lines of inappropriate but reimbursed seizure, about shoddy repacking leading to breakage and especially about the high cost and sometimes being charged unnecessary customs duty.
When I was selling Lew's collection I did my own shipping with the USPS (post office) as it was both the best and cheapest service available to me, but I had one buyer insist I cancel and relist with GSP - after warning him, I did and the antique African short sword actually went from the USA to Italy without reported incident.
