Well.
Thought I had a good deal on a set off z rims (no Hubs) from USA.
Ended at £75 happy days..
Well with the GSP fees I ended up paying £130 a bloody liberty

Thats the last time i will buy from a seller registered with GSP..
Well pi$$ off..

Surely it tells you on the listing exactly what the import fees etc will be?

Actually no..
Only if it's over a certain amount.
I placed my max bid because it as was ending at 5.00 am and no fees only the postage when I bidded.
They only work out the final fees at end of auction rip off..

But the costs go up as the bidding goes up?
Hence the higher the sale price the higher the import fees?
I guess the only safe way of guaranteeing a set figure is buy it now.

But £55 to post a set of rims when it ended at £75 sorry it's not on!!
They even charged me for the seller to post too the GSP depo ..

I'm hating eBay GSP, way to expensive, and also double if not treble the delivery time, as the parcel gets sent to them first then dispatched through various different couriers.
Hate it try and avoid at all costs

Yep the ebay global shipping program is a total rip off.

I just stay away from anyone who's using it.

Like Flitch said its way to expensive and double if not treble the delivery time.

Also i've had items taken out of the box at the ebay shipping depot then shoved back in and damaged.
