Ebay International Shipping (EIS) USA to the UK or not.
<< < (2/2)
nctnico:
Some googling shows Ebay's GSP is (beying) phased out and replaced by international shipping. It looks like the calculations of additional VAT & duties and fees are implemented differently to get these more accurate. The UK being dropped might have to do with sellers know knowing where the UK is and they only select EU. Thank Boris the idiot for that...

Been using ebay for over 2 decades, and GSP has disappeared, replaced by "ebay international shipping" and I verified this with ebay.

Post a link if you want, and I'll check it. Otherwise, every single shop that I have used for many years that used to ship via GSP no longer does.

Yes GSP has gone for sellers in the USA, some listings in the UK still have it, an example (no connection with the seller); https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285663666697

Of course sellers don't have to use GSP/EIS, they can send direct, this might explain why many business sellers (shops) don't ship to your location, same as those in Germany don't want to do the paperwork to send here.

Again it was phased out in the USA, listings in the UK still have it, which may change in the future.

Boris has nothing to do with the problem this thread is about, i.e USA to UK sales changing in the last 6 months, please start a thread somewhere else to moan about other things, or don't as politics are against the rules.

This is about "Ebay International Shipping" the seller doesn't do the paperwork, they send the item to a location in the USA and the ebay EIS service does the rest. There are some listings with EIS to the UK, just far fewer than 6 months ago.

Indeed. Ask the average American where the UK is. 999 out of 1000 won't know so they won't select the UK as a country where they want to ship items to just to avoid extra questions and paperwork.
