I just bid on an item on the British Ebay and I won it.
When starting to pay I noticed that the total price was higher than expected so I checked it to see if I made a mistake.
I then saw that the seller was using the Global Shipping Program that was charging an additional GBP 15 on a GBP 45 item.
Because of import duties and additional costs, while import from the UK is free below 150 Euro!
Why are people using this scam system of Ebay?
I messaged the seller that I cancelled the order because of these unnecessary costs that I am not willing to pay but that I am still willing to buy for the action price and stated shipping.
If the listing would clearly show that there was such an amount of extra costs I would not have bid at all. Shame on Ebay.
