I bid on an item which listed shipping cost to bidder. After winning this item I went to pay finding the shipping was now indicated as part of the global shipping. And X3 the original amount. I must honestly say that, had the original shipping been listed as that amount, I would not have bid. "Just an honest gal that was looking for a good deal." Next time I guess I will have to email the seller first for an invoice from them.

Items being sold under the GSP have both the seller's (domestic) shipping and handling fee and lower, separately the charges from the Global Shipping Program.
The seller's fee carries your purchase from his location to Erlanger KY, where GSP parcels are sorted, brokered and shipped out of the USA.
TheGSP/ shipper's fee includes postage and handling, Canadian duty (if any) and Canadian sales taxes.
If you had been bidding from a dotCOM page (rather than being signed in to dotCA) the GSP price might not appear, since it would be irrelevant to US bidders.
The amount of the GSP charge might change once your bid value ( tax and duty are percentages) is confirmed. There might also be a change in the Pitney Bowes/GSP brokerage fee, which starts around $5.
What is the listing number? We can take a look and see if there is a problem.
BTW, eBay does not recommend buying from a mobile device, because not all the information show up. Shop from the device, put the item on your Watch list, then bid from a computer where all the listing can be seen.
