eBay WARNING!

[Big J]

It's just the arbitrary power of the GSP to incinerate your purchase without prior notification that blows me away.
What if it had been that alleged real James Dean jacket that cost thousands of bucks (what if that jacket really is the real thing?).
Clearly, ebay is catering to a different demographic now, and it isn't me.

Another lovely jacket is getting incinerated. Thanks to eBay’s global shipping program.

An deerskin jacket from the states via eBay and I’ve just had an update saying ‘item restricted’

Poor seller won’t be getting the jacket back. WTF?

Is it because it’s deerskin?

Madness.

 

[Canuck Panda]

Can‘t export deerskin without proper license. It’s a game hide.

How do they know it's deerskin? I've shipped and received several deerskin items without any issues to and from US.

I know right?

Apparently it's classed as endangered,

The following wildlife products are not allowed:

• Items made from endangered or threatened species or species listed on CITES Appendix I
  
  Deer is on the list.

I see deer everywhere.

Watch out, the man in green can come after you for that endangered deer you took out...

Crumbs. I won an A2 Cooper the other week. It's being shipped from Lithuania to the UK.

Yeah but how did they know the jacket was deerskin?? Did it said somewhere on it? That's so weird... Member from TFL just recently sold me a deerskin shirt, shipped from US. The tag clearly states GENUINE DEERSKIN and it arrived without any issues.

If the jacket was shipped by eBay Global Shipping Services, and "deerskin" was in the item's eBay description, then "deerskin" was also on shipping papers. Automated scans picked it up from shipping papers, and voila. Nobody is looking at labels, this is high volume stuff.

NEVER, EVER, EVER...let a seller use the global shitting program. That system is so uttterly broken and flawed it's pathetic and boderline criminal. If you see something you want, ship it to me and I will ship it to you.

Worst thing of all is the eBay Global Shipping Program won't even ship the item back to the seller. Buyer gets refunded and the seller loses out, criminal.

The company is called Pitney Bowes ltd, criminals indeed:

EBay arghh!! ##$&&

The current covid-19 "we deliver without a signature" policy is not helping things either. I bought a Legendary USA jacket on eBay a in July. I have had it at least a month, but all trackings still say "in transit to destination", last update was "ARRIVED AT DELIVERY TERMINAL" 3rd of august...

eBay really need to think things through better, imo. I am all for laws restricting dangerous or environmentally damaging trades, and to stop frauds. The problem is that eBay don't seem to be targeting the "right" people. My wife recently tried to sell a pair of sneakers that have never been worn. The only time even the paper that came packed inside the shoes was removed was to photograph them. They have literally never had a human foot in them. However, she made the mistake of innocently using the term "as new". eBay demanded, on sale, that they were shipped to their verification centre. They were returned to us and the sale cancelled by eBay because, it seems, the box had been a little damaged in storage. Which we had made clear in the sale. It's idiotic. I totally understand there are a lot of counterfeit goods out there and sold, but to go after a private seller selling a single item rather than the obvious dealers selling multiples of suspect product.....
