Subject: Re: Global shippers stopping shipments to US
That's all foreign to me. I just mailed directly to the buyer, usually in a USPS international flate-rate box.
I don't recall exactly which year eBay rolled out the program. I know, beside the package to France, I shipped a turntable cartridge to Hong Kong of Shanghai (forget which), and I think I sent something to Turkey. All I had to do was ship to the US crossdock.
Benefits of eBay International Shipping
As well as making your items available to buyers in almost 200 countries, there are several other benefits to using eBay International Shipping:
When you ship internationally using eBay International Shipping, you're responsible for sending the item your buyer purchased safely to the US shipping hub. If a buyer reports that an item was lost or damaged during international shipping or it is damaged at the hub, we'll work with the buyer to resolve the issue. You're protected from:
The obligation to refund the buyer
eBay Money Back Guarantee cases
Payment disputes
Open 'Not as described' returns in your service metrics
Negative or neutral feedback related to item handling during international shipping
Save on selling fees for your international transactions, including no international fee
All international returns, refunds, and customs clearance will be handled on your behalf
If you schedule Time Away, the estimated delivery date will be updated to reflect this
You'll be protected against item not received claims and chargebacks once your item is accepted at the domestic hub
