Global Shipping Program - A cautionary tale.

I too have learned that lesson, never buy if the seller uses GSP. Between Ebay fees and fees on the shipping costs it takes a 20% bite out of the sellers profits.
Ebay dreams up blanket restrictions that have nothing to do with law. Just another way to cash in. I was warned recently by Ebay just because I was asking the seller something and they construed it as buying and avoiding Ebay.
They can charge you fees against an item even if you did not sell it.
This is sheer overreaching GREED and I rarely buy or sell on Ebay because I refuse to feed the beast.
