[QUOTE="nwfdub, post: 24892244, member: 112688"]This ! I have personally been burned severely with GSP. Many people don't know this, but eBay GSP, while classified as a third party entity, is really Pitney-Bowes. Albeit they seem to have autonomy in operations. Whoever runs the thing has a keen eye. Works like this; You put up a item, buyer from country "x" pays for item. eBay GSP program flags your item, and hold funds until you drop off item. Here is where the fun begins. You get home, funds held until eBay GSP can inspect item. Once GSP has item they claim it's not allowed to be shipped based on one of the two countries rules about import and export, regardless if the destination was also the origin of the item. Based on the illegality of the attempted shipping, the item will be confiscated. Buyer gets money back without receiving item. You, as seller gets to keep buyers money. Now the fun part. Since you live in the US, you get a chance to buy your item back. Low and behold you will see your EXACT item for sale on eBay. About two weeks later, typically. Albeit at a much higher rate, close to double. Please believe me when I tell you, COMPLETE AUTONOMY. I said typically because Whoever runs it, has a panache for gold colonial coinage, as those never resurface. I can give you the sellers info via DM. They're out of Kentucky. I'm sure you can Google it as well. I mean really, who has 20,000 for sale? I like many others see GSP, run! Run far! Run fast! It's a scam. /rant[/QUOTE]
