How To Offer Free Domestic Shipping, But Charge For International without using GSP? July 2025

Hey ebay, I'm loving all the recent changes so so much. Hours of time in administration. Hours trying to find out how to navigate your systems. Here's the latest query, I don't think it's possible any longer through my previously perfectly adequate postage policies for this purpose; Since introducing "Simple Delivery" it seems its anything but, and is missing some serious functionality

Don't mean to go on a sidequest here, but I will quickly. Why chan't you change the shipping options (at your cost) after a sale? for example something sold for much more than I thought it would so I wanted to send it in a box rather than an envelope and by 24 special delivery not tracked 48.

 

NO YOU NAUGHT BOY - YOU USE AN ENVELOPE LIKE YOU SAID - 

 

Oh okay sorry ebay simple delivery you're such a helpful beast.

 

Anyway I' sure there will be another issue tommorrow with a system that should never have been let out of beta testing - if there even was any testing??? Oh forgive me, we're doing it for you now aren't we, with our livelihoods and actually paying you for the privilege.

 

Your homework for tonight is to look up the word "En*bleep*tification" and draw a graph as to where exactly you think ebay is in this cycle.

 

(I'll give you a clue, we're right at the end, where the company actually close their customer care departments, close the telephone contacts etc to save money and effective offer you the customer (buyer or seller) SWEET FA! - other than fees and headaches!)

Yes, you can work around SD at own expense. Here are the instructions for manually replacing SD Tracking number with your own (for expedited 24h service in the example above):

Orders > View Order Details > Track Package dropdown menu > Add Tracking

 

Also your title looks like you have a question about Free SD postage coupled with Custom International Postage. Did you find your own solution already?
