title says it all. I am contemplating a purchase from a seller who ships by 4PX courier. Package is coming from China. Does anyone know who will do final delivery to me in Canada? I'm most concerned about getting hit with big brokerage charges if a C...
Does anyone have any experience on how to deal with taxes on used items? i know in Canada if we buy a used item there should be no tax because tax was already paid on it when it was purchased as new. Is there such a similar exemption on international...
here is the classic runaround from a dishonest seller in China. I purchase some items with a low dollar amount. I am pretty certain that the seller never sent the items. I have asked for a refund 15 times. Every time the seller responds to my questio...

I just accepted an offer from a seller for a widget. The order total quoted to me by eBay including shipping was approximately $64 US (about $87 CDN) with $0.00 in taxes/duties. I was good with that, so I clicked accept. When I was taken to the payme...
Over a week item still stuck on inspect at shipping hub it’s a video game console I called eBay and told me to wait but says one month to deliver from Illinois to Canada.
I purchased an item, and paid with PayPal. The payment went through, but the item never arrived. At eBay’s automated system’s suggestion, I tried to contact the seller, but did not get a response. I tried again, still no response. By the time I final...
Done with eBay. Their global shipping is just plain ridiculous. Why would they use a domestic mail carrier in the US that takes three weeks to get packages out of the country? Why not use an international courier? Not to mention the amount charged… o...
Just wonderful. What’s the point of having a conversation. We were having a discussion about the shipping program and as it’s pointing out flaws, the moderator closes it because it’s an old thread. Why wasn’t it closed before. What wait till there’s ...
Why do so many American sellers use the global Shipping program. Its a rip off for the buyer . Just go to your post office and send it. It arrives way faster and is way more cheaper. Will not buy from American sellers who use this anymore . Can they ...

Why is it that the Global Shipping Program and Pitney Bowes ship is such a disaster. As soon as the parcel hits the Global Shipping Centres there is zero tracking information provided. I have a package that shows zero updates for the last 7 calendar ...
More of a rant than anything else -Some time ago I made an offer of $8 for an item listed at $10, and the seller declined outright - which, fine, you do you. I thought it was a bit rude not to counter-offer at least, but again - not my business. Bein...
How do I contact e-bay about a purchase that has been paid for but not delivered?
Hi everyone,Recently, I had an intention to purchase some ebooks on Google Playstore. However, the prices were steep, leading me to consider buying a Google Play gift GC from eBay, as a means to save some money. One such card was available, with a 'b...

What do you do when you give honest feedback about a product and the seller blocks you ? I said her sizing was way off and since no returns I lost over 50.00 ! Is that fair ?
I face awful sellers non-stop. No wonder why ebay has a bad reputation to the eyes of a lot of buyers. Today as exemple there's an auction with 0 bid starting at $20 and i contact seller to offer $60 to just buy now. The seller reply he would do $80....

Ebay - how do I contact you to make a formal complaint about Global Shipping program and lack of tracking details once the item arrives in Erlanger KY? I am always able to track my shipments from the seller to Erlanger via USPS but can never follow t...
They say to be careful what you wish for. Well, time to eat humble pie. I was a voluble critic of Global Shipping's mysterious "import charges" and of course the apparent nonsense of shipping an item twice, first to Erlanger, Kentucky, and then to wh...
In regards to Ebay's International Shipping to Canada, I can say I'm not impressed. I have a seller in Florida whom I have dealt with on numerous occasions. They are fantastic. I recently made a repeat purchase of an item from the seller. The first t...
Long story short, I have a recent order that involves Global Shipping Program. The seller refunded the order because it was out of stock, but the Global Shipping Program fees, including shipping, and customs charges were not refunded. I filled an "it...
Starting July 1, 2022. eBay Canada started illegally charging taxes on precious metals of purity 999 (Platinum, Gold, Silver) on the buyers side.This is illegal, per the Canadian law there should be no taxes on precious metals of 999 purity.I think l...
I recently had a scam order where the "overseas" shipping put in a tracking number, it show progress IN Ebay tracking, but it turned out to be fake. How is it possible that scammers are able to show tracking progress in Ebay itself? Ebay I assume con...
I am very very unhappy with eBay and the global shipping program. I bought a small item from the United States on November 4th. I am in Canada. The item moved normally within tracking until it cleared customs. Then it sat for over 20 days. Nothing. N...
