Think of it as a Seller Protection program.

Once your shipment is in the hands of the eIS, you responsibility for delivery ends.

There are also benefits about Not As Described claims.

There are no particular benefits for buyers. It's not aimed at buyers.

I'm not sure I understand it either and came here hoping there was a thread about it. I declined the offer to sign up for it, believing it would mean all sales were sent to the hub, not just USA. So every sale would be charged double shipping (to the hub and then the destination) plus their handling fees or whatever else the buyer is charged for. Why would anyone ever buy from me with shipping like that?

Reading the link today, the wording led me to believe I could limit the global shipping program to USA only and ship normally to everywhere else. Is that true? If so, I should sign up, if I still can.

I have thousands of listings so will have to adjust them one by one to determine country of origin before I open them up to US buyers. I can't imagine anyone paying double shipping plus fees to buy my ebay stuff but I should try before I give up.

The buyer pays shipping.

What eBay should clarify, since I am old and hard of thinking, is whether the foreign buyer pays all their import fees, including the Trump Tariff, before we are required to ship.

But again, if you are paying for shipping, you are doing it wrong.

The Buyer pays shipping.

Even with Free Shipping, the seller should be including their shipping cost in the purchase price.

Because the Buyer pays shipping.

Since an eIS shipment would look like a domestic shipment from the seller's end, the seller doesn't have to worry about this detail. That's something to worry about for those handling the shipment from the Mississauga hub to its final destination.
