Having just started to collect again after many years ( about eight ) and having not been on eBay buying vintage stuff for a while I've just come across the eBay global shipping program. So my query is what's it all about? I understand that it's supposed to make things easier for the seller only having to send it to a depot for re posting and that it's supposed to save me customs and handling charges when it gets here but it would seem that every American seller is using it, is there a reason for it? Are they forced to use it to sell internationally? Personally I'd prefer not only to take my chances on having a customs charge slapped on an item but I'm sure as hell it would be far cheaper to pay the charge here than to eBay. I would imagine it must be costing international sellers a fortune in lost sales.
