Sorry, Kirby, but I and a lot of others here in the UK think eBay's
Global Shipping Program is a total rip-off. I refuse to buy from any
seller who insists I use it.

We use the Ebay Global Shipping program, and it is very easy for
sellers. Plus my inventory travels insured, so everyone's money is
protected. Plus I don't have to fill out a lot of customs forms.
Ebay Global Shipping is run by Pitney Bowes for Ebay, and yes, it is
more expensive. Yes, it takes some time. When shipping
internationally becomes easier, we will consider using the Post
Office here. Meanwhile, in the U.S. the Trump administration wants
to abolish the Post Office.
This is the TRUTH.
Secondly, almost all governments add duties to purchases of old
movie posters. Many buyers want to buy a poster for $150, and have
ME tell the authorities that they bought it for $20. These buyers
may not know this, or appreciate it, but this puts both the seller
and the buyer at risk for significant fines.
It's dishonest, and I won't do it.
International buyers can buy from our own website, but insurance is
limited. Buyers may SAY that it OK for posters to travel entirely
at their own risk, but when
something actually gets lost, it's a different story.

Good for you!
I've had a couple recent transactions on ebay that have been
awful. Mainly it's due to the global shipping program, a great
excuse for ebay to take a little more out of buyer's and, I
assume, seller's pockets. It's terrible and it takes forever and
the tracking is completely useless. The odd seller who still does
things the old way is wonderful to run across in these days when
shipping is almost a deal breaker, especially from the US to me in
Canada. If shipping continues to get even more ridiculous, I guess
it will be a strictly US thing...maybe that's their goal?
Anyway, always happy to see someone leave that site if they can.
All the best,

SUBJECT: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store
ebay has once again been pestering me lately, telling me I need to
‚adjust‘ my store listings to once again ‚comply‘ with
their ‚new rules‘.
Today, I received another message from them, informing me some
adjustments will soon become ‚mandatoy‘ and others will be
‚optional‘.
Their decision to introduce mandatory ‚automatic renewal‘ some
time ago already pushed me to the edge and I thought about
canceling my store subscription back then.
Now they are at it AGAIN. Whatever their new rules might be, I
don‘t even want to know. My yearly subscription would‘ve ended
in three days anyway, and after that I would‘ve been stuck with
them for another year.
Not anymore. I just canceled my subscription, so on July 1, my
ebay store will be history.
I was still making a little bit of money, but not nearly enough to
take up with yet ANOTHER set of new rules and regulations. On top
of their ridiculous fees, that is.
Also, in recent months, my quota of non-paying buyers has
increased dramatically. That sellers are not allowed to leave
appropriate feedback for deadbeat bidders is yet another thing
that has bothered my since the day they introduced that policy.
I‘m buying and selling on ebay since 1999, so I have watched
pretty much all of their so-called ‚improvements‘ over more
than two decades by now. So far, I could still convince myself to
stick with them, but not anymore. Enough is enough.
