Anyone use global shipping?

Has anyone had an order from another country and shipped using the new Global Shipping program? If so, how did it work for you? I’m still undecided if I should sign up for it.

As a buyer from out side the U.S. I think the global shipping program is a complete rip off. I do not shop with sellers on eBay using it. You end up getting charged brokerage fee’s and a whole list of other fee’s that you would have normally not gotten. It’s over priced as hell.

…would NEVER pay the shipping charges. So I think that there may be several reasons that they would, even if we never would. This is my opportunity to do some business overseas without headaches, so I have taken it. I thank Bonanza for the opportunity.
