Why global shipping, charging customs etc where no charge was before

What a master scam. I have purchased always ask for USPS, and only paid custom dutys once. You can bet I will not be buying from any sellers using Global shipping....As we are all aware that used or parts built under NATFA usually don't carry duty charges.

You echo my sentiments exactly. Someone in the loop is getting a cut that was previously not there. I too will not buy from anyone using the GSP if they will not ship using the postal system as well. It is what it is.

I've been buying from the USA for years and items shipped USPS rarely ever arrive with duties or taxes owing unless the value is over 100. Now, I just looked at an item I would like to buy, it's $149 an the estimated duties throgh eBay are $60.52 that's 40%. The duties and taxes should be 15% or $22.50. ... So where does the other $38 go ?. This is a total scam, I feel bad for the people who signed up for this program because I will never buy from them, same way I won't use UPS because of the high brokerage rates, about the same price as the GSP.
