F*** ebay & Paypal

[Melon]

anybody know whats up with this new global shipping program? won't let me send an invoice, shows no shipping address but i'm apparently supposed to mail it somewhere in the US so they can ship it overseas?

also how long would you give someone to send payment before you call it a non payer?

Three days. Based on my limited experiences selling on eBay, if you don't get paid or hear from them in 24-48 hours, you're not getting paid.

Starting next year eBay bucks will only be issued if you earned more than $5 of them in that quarter.

About time they extend that

It'll be interesting to see how this dovetails with eBay considering you can still use checks or alt. payment methods to pay for items (although most folks don't know this tidbit). My guess is that eBay will stay at 45 days for their claim process and if you pay with PayPal you'll have the extended period to file with them outside of the eBay window.

A bit of an older post, but I've had some issues with this. the whole "Import taxes" that eBay is now charging to international bidder is a damn joke. I bid on an item awhile back not knowing what this was, yet. I figured it was an estimate, not something actually added on to the purchase price. I called eBay and fought for an hour about it and finally gave in and paid it. I told them if they shipped USPS then I wouldn't get any customs fees anyways and they assured me that these were the only fees I would be paying. Nope, they still never shipped with USPS like I asked and I was charged a second time for customs fees at the border. Again I fought with them and got no where... I will no longer bid on auctions with this on it....if everyone is going to start using it, eBay has forever lost me as a customer....not that they care much..

Yeah, I agree. I have missed the 45 day window because of super slow shipping to Canada from other countries. It has gotten a bit quicker lately, but used to be brutal. Now if it gets to a month or so and I still don't have my item, I automatically file a claim just to be safe. Been burnt one too many times..

I use the Global Shipping Program on all my items. To me it has been blessing, before it I had just not allowed international bidders to bid at all.

[scoliosispony]

I usually do free shipping stateside and say in the listing to obtain a quote for international shipping before bidding. Then I check their feedback and decide if I'll sell to them. I agree that the Global Shipping Program fees are too steep. It turns buyers off.

[Stl_ben]

Get ripped of 2 or 3 times by international buyers and you will switch to the Shipping Program too and love it.
