eBay

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

I have noticed a lot of people are ticked off about global shipping and I even noticed a few yahoos defending GSP!!!! If your defending GSP then you are also in on the scam. Is it fair that the entire purpose of buying on eBay is to get good deals because realistically you can get all the same things in your own home town as you can in other places but most of it boils down to the cost. My last 3 purchases in the U.S. the seller has used GSP. I will as of when I get my order will NEVER USE IT AGAIN! And this isn't a "RANT" this is a loyal, long time eBay customer that has been using eBay from the very get go. And I loved eBay and still do.

Is it fair that I buy an item, pay the $14 CAD for shipping but then, I get another charge for $28.98 CAD for an item that now will take even longer than it would have before!

For the ones defending
GSP (Global Shipping Program) you guys just don't give a **bleep** about your customers that's why your defending it. GSP only "if a parcel is lost" will actually pay for the loss to the seller and to the buyer. It protects the seller ONLY that's why they use it. And don't tell me different because even eBay reps themselves have told me that. And they get constant complaints about it.
The funny thing is it's actually cheaper to use a COURIER like UPS, FEDEX, PUROLATOR, etc.
I convinced another seller to courier and I paid only $22!!!! for very NEXT DAY DELIVERY! To CANADA!!!!
And I ordered from the exact same city from another seller and all together with the GSP and the sellers shipping $43!!!!! $43.00!!!!!!!
And now I've got to wait 10 days!!!!! I actually have to wait 9 days longer for something I paid more for!!!
GSP is GARBAGE! Anyone that defends GSP is a straight up 80's car salesmen con artist!
I asked the seller if he'd use a courier and he said no. Why? Cause he made more money by scamming me with GSP. My advice to you coming from a veteran eBay user, seller and a buyer.
DO NOT USE GLOBAL SHIPPING IT IS EXPENSIVE AND TAKES WAY LONGER!
You would actually be better off to buy from someone that just drops it in the mailbox.
Anyway call this is a rant if you want. But a rant is not someone stating facts!
Pros and cons to using global shipping (For the buyer)
The cons drastically out weigh the pros by 100%.
It only benefits the seller and is a nitemare for the buyer. And I officially am done with any seller that uses GSP, because with the shipping and now the extended time it takes its actually cheaper for me to just buy locally.
Good job eBay you've literally wrecked the exciting eBay experience and I will now be buying from another well known online shopping place that rhymes with "AND-ITS-GONE" 😉 Thank you for making this the easiest decision I've ever had to make.
Cost and BS vs better cost and less BS.
SIMPLE CHOICE.

I am confused.

In the last six months you left fifteen (15) positive feedback for different sellers stating:

LOST IN MAIL BUT NOT THEIR FAULT & I WAS REFUNDED & IF SHOWS UP I WILL REPAY!

HONEST SELLER! ORDER LOST IN MAIL NOT THEIR FAULT & I WAS REFUNDED IN FULL A++++

VERY HONEST SELLER! ITEM LOST IN MAIL NOT THEIR FAULT THEY REFUNDED ME IN FULL

VERY HONEST SELLER! ITEM LOST IN MAIL NOT THEIR FAULT THOUGH REFUNDED ME IN FULL

never got the item at all but seller did refund, well sorry ebay did.

seller didnt send another as PROMISED but did refund, still waiting for item?!!!

Was lost in the mail but seller refunded me, very honest & communicates well A++

Very honest seller, my order got last in mail and they refunded me immediately.

Honest seller my orders got lost & he refunded in full and shipped out another!

Now you write "Good job eBay you've literally wrecked the exciting eBay experience and I will now be buying from another well known online shopping place that rhymes with "AND-ITS-GONE""

You will be missed by all those sellers who were clearly ripped off..

are we dealing with a rip off artist or are we dealling with a rip off artist am i missing something here cant imagine advertizing that but o my gawdcats outa the bag and ebay hasnt put this person in whoesville

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

What's so confusing? Because youve singled out reviews I've written for sellers that refunded me for lost items???? Your message makes ZERO SENSE. I try not to write bad reviews for anyone. And I've had a lot more orders than 15 in 6 months. Only thing that's confusing is your reply.

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

eBay is fully aware as well because every single thing that has ever been lost and refunded I paid for again if it arrived. So your "theory" is on the psycho level bud. Anyone that would do what you just did clearly needs a life. 🙂

PSYCHO MUCH

pierrelebel · ‎07-05-2016

Most Canadian buyers do not like to use GSP as it is not "buyer friendly" (fees, delays).

Many American sellers like to use GSP as it protects them from scammers claiming non receipt.

I am confident the sellers at Amazon will welcome you with open arms.

sylviebee · ‎07-05-2016

I can see that the FB you left regarding late items etc. was left for Asian sellers.

You're right: There has been a huge problem for Canadians buying from Asia and items have regularly been taking up to 3 months to arrive. It's cleared up to some degree now.

Glad to see you didn't leave NFB for those sellers the way some Canadian buyers have been doing. It's frustrating waiting 3 months for an item to arrive but you're right: In most cases the sellers are not to blame.

The GSP has driven a lot of Canadians away from eBay but maybe don't give up entirely just yet.

Maybe someone has been paying attention to our complaints because I see the GSP less and less during the past month or so.

In my category at least Americans using the GSP seems to be on the wane.

Maybe someone has been paying attention after all.

aubreyclay56 · ‎07-05-2016

that many items do not dissapear when they are tracked,actually maybe one in a thousand ,i had two in 4 yrs that never showed up at there destination, unfortuanatelly i never had tracking or they would have

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

I've used GSP 3 times in the last few weeks. I'll never do it again. I had a seller send my courier, it was insured so protected both of us and I got it the next day, and it was cheaper than GSP. What I don't like about GSP is the time and cost.

pierrelebel · ‎07-05-2016

"was left for Asian sellers."

Please take another look. I checked every one of them. Sellers are from the USA (many). the United Kingdom and Asia (China)

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

Oh and by the way. The Asian sellers that I left the FB for stating "will pay if ever shows up" we're from Asian sellers that I waited minimum 75 days!!!! And do you know how many of them ended up showing up? Only one. Out of all of them. Only one showed up. So me getting refunded on items not received is EXACTLY what is suppose to happen. And funny thing is I've only left negative FB for one seller. One. And that's cause they avoided me. For that weirdo to put reviews into a post is straight psycho and especially to take it out of context without knowing the stories. As a buyer I expect to at least receive the item I pay for and u like other buyers I didn't leave negative FB for any of them. Because they did the right thing.

I've been selling by mail order for over 30 years, everything from cast iron wood stoves to postage stamps, and in all those thousands and thousands of sales, I have had perhaps a dozen shipments lost in the mail.

One $15,000 item was mis-sent to Moscow Russia instead of Moscow Idaho and was returned to us, unopened and undamaged about two months after shipment.

When experienced mail order sellers see large numbers (and by large I'd say more than 1%) of purchases where 'non-delivery' is being claimed we have to think that either the buyer is way too trusting of questionable sellers or sellers are being way too trusting of a questionable buyer.

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

Haha your taking things out of context bud you are a complete psycho stalker type of person yah? You know it was either get my money back and leave negative FB which I should of for a lot of them. But I didn't get any negative FB myself because I always did the right thing. But you sir are a serious stalker type of guy and should probably focus on your own life. Desperately

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

The funniest thing about you is your looking at reviews that I LEFT! I've never once had a thing I haven't paid for. And you taking it out of context and reposting reviews man you should be on like an amber alert for your stalker tendencies. Think you should leave the business aspects to actual business people. If you order something. And don't get it. Your suppose to eat it???? That makes a lot of sense. If I don't get any of my orders 30 days after the expected delivery date I expect a full refund or I involve eBay. Which I did for every single "NON RECIEVED ITEM" so eBay was the one that got me my money back. That's where you taking the stuff out of context makes you look like a fool. EBays aware so why don't you continue your stalkerish ways and contact them and report it???? See what they say Yoda. Smh. Get a life. Mind ur business too.

Yes, I certainly didn't check every one of them. 🙂

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

It's because your not a stalker like he is. Haha. It's funny too cause all refunds I got eBay issued. 🙂 and only 1 out of all of them ever showed up. And I contacted the seller and repaid. 🙂 but that's where taking reviews a lot of reviews I write I just repeat the same review cause it's easier. Most of them aren't for same seller but have same review. I don't get in detail

femmefan1946 · ‎07-05-2016

Buyers can ONLY receive positive feedback.

Having 100% feedback as a buyer is egoboo, nothing more.

Buyers who open and win Item Not Received disputes cannot leave negative feedback. The dispute ends the transaction as if it never occured.

If a buyer leaves negative feedback before the dispute is settled, the seller can have eBay remove it, however, many sellers are unaware that they have this right.

Ad hominem arguments are used by those who cannot argue from facts.

The GSP is a Seller Protection program.

Among its functions is protection of US (and UK) sellers from false claims of non-delivery.

Not surprising you don't care for it.

aubreyclay56 · ‎07-05-2016

kinda reminds me of the guy that robbed the bank in the usa years ago,had his money in his hand,thought he had it made and run into a plate glass window when he woke up he had an armed security officer pointing a gun at him lmao criminals do get caught most of the time

aarowayn7 · ‎07-05-2016

Criminals do get caught. Your calling me a criminal because repeated reviews for most items weren't even ones I RECIEVED any refunds on. Any idiot knows that when u go to post a review the prior review pops up. And the person who said I was forced to write a positive review? That's NOT TRUE AT ALL!! And again taking out of context. Instead of trying to make sense out of my GSP complaint which is a 100% accurate if your soooooo confident contact eBay bring this up and see what they say. Instead of being a biggit and accusing me. Only cause of repeat reviews that I left intentially. And hey if an item doesn't show up I give sellers MORE TIME THEN EBAY TELLS ME TOO. eBay says to report non RECIEVED item after 7 days. I wait 30 days so how dare you question my honour you biggit. Mind your own business.
