Canadian ebay buyers. Tell seller you don't want him/her to use Global Shipping. It's horrific. Item goes to Kentucky warehouse where it can sit for weeks. Pitney Bowes runs it and they are doing a terrible job. My experiences have all been bad. Cost...

I placed two orders from US sellers last month and both are shipped via Global Shipping program. I should have done some research on this and avoided them at all costs. Both packages have arrived at the repackaging center in Erlanger, KY and were shi...

I want to return an item I bought and the seller wants me to ship using economy shipping, which doesn't come with a tracking number. Is that even a good idea? I worry that the seller can just claim that they never received the package back and won't ...
I get that eBay is now collecting taxes on items sold on eBay. However, why are they charging it on the shipping cost as well? Canada Post prices already include taxes when you calculate them on their website. So why am I being charged twice on that ...
