red_bus wrote in Interesting Non-TSR Items Formerly on eBay:Oops. My mistake, I was not referring to a specific means of posting (I have no view on that), but the special ebay global shipping programme - which effectively halted at a stroke most of my US purchases. I think recently they may be trying to make it better, but I also notice (anecdotally) that fewer sellers are using it, so perhaps it has not been that "useful" after all. More broadly I have been buying and selling rpgs since 2000 and I think I have only had one item go astray from the US in that time. Your international postal service seems generally pretty robust (as is the Royal Mail)....and while I am reminiscing I have only even been ripped off a few times in that period. The worst was a total rookie error when I paid for a high-end MERP book by bank transfer (horror!!!) to Germany. Haha! :lol:

The Ebay Global shipping crap is terrible and you have to remove it because (as Jason says) it's the default shipping, since I've edited all my listings in Turbo Lister, it's gone forever from my listings. I cannot even pull it up just now when I tried to see what they would charge on certain listings....

The import taxes you have to pay when ordering are just insane. Several times I tried to ask a seller to change this shipping method to USPS. One seller said it was impossible, or maybe it is just not easy for a seller not used to Ebay to do so.I decided not to bid.I guess that Ebay makes a lot of money with this shipping program.
