Wow this seller is something else. She sent me a counteroffer that I agreed to and then she informs me that she doesn’t ship to Canada but her listing is with the Global shipping program? Its literally telling me the shipping and duties? I don’t understand how you can unknowingly join the global shipping program, that makes no sense?. I just told her she ships to the ebay warehouse in KY and they ship it to me but I don’t think shes gonna understand that concept and looks like Im not getting the bag... Ive had such a frustrating day and this just added to it lol

There is risk for seller if buyer want to return for refund. In U.S seller only need to supply a return shipping label, but return shipping for international include Canada is much more expensive(for seller). I request full return once, the leather at strap end was riped half way across. For the benefit of doubt seller might not aware of it, the leather overlap was lifted at corner, didn't look too bad, but upon close inspection, the leather beneath the lifted overlap was riped quite bad. I immediately requested return and sent seller the picture. Of cause I lefted the top leather ends more to show the damage covered by the top. It made the strap looked worse but I didn't do any further damage, just exposed it. Seller agreed full refund but insisted the bag wasn't like that when she shipped it.
I got a full refund right away and a notification from eBay that seller was not able to supply a return shipping label. When contacted seller regarding how to return it, I was told to keep the bag no need to return.
I am sure after this experience the seller probably will not want to ship international again. I also felt like a thief, so asked the seller for her PayPal email and sent back about half the refund. I don't know how many people will just keep the free bag . I sell a little bit on eBay, always tried my best to disclose any flaws of the bag. If the buyer was in US, I always dread of any possible problems might cause a return request, thanks goodness so far so good, and knock on the wood.

I see what you mean. I guess from the seller’s perspective, she would be worried if I opened a return case. She changed her listing to remove the GSP but sent me a message informing me that she changed it, so she just didn’t know it was on that. Its fine though, Im sad I won’t get the bag but another one will come along!

One thing I dislike about the global shipping though Is that they seem to go through the package. I bought a natural strand of antique pearls from the UK and seller used the global shipping. The shipper confiscated the pearls, I got a refund but the seller was out the money and the strand As it was not given back to them. They weren’t illegal or banned like ivory or tortoise shell, so I am not sure what happened, but it put me off buying from international shippers who use it vs mailing it themselves.

None of my packages have ever been opened but all my packages go through the Kentucky location so its probably different protocol than the UK. Thats so strange that they wouldn’t return the item back to the seller. I read that they refund the seller if the package goes missing as well as the buyer so they should have done the same with your situation

Remember the bag I got for $10 on ebay? The bag was as described except it had that terrible thrift store smell. I washed it and gave it numerous vinegar rinses plus sprayed it with everything I have that is supposed to remove odors. Now it just has a faint thrift store smell. I'm torn as to what kind of feedback I should leave the seller. I would give positive but I don't know if I should mention that the smell should have been disclosed.

I hate giving bad feedback, only if its really bad. But the last bag I got was as described but stuffed in a little bag so Im in the same boat as you. I elected not to give any.
