GSP Glitch Worth Mentioning

[thetimetower]

Thought i'd mention that if you ever edit any postage policies, the ebay GSP option likes to switch itself off for no reason. It sometimes takes a few times to switch it back on. Just for those who use it that wonder why sometimes you suddenly have no international sales. I just had to reactivate it on all policies again. I never untick it but it seems to untick itself anyway.

Yes, I've noticed this happening... although since Brexit, it is only once in a blue moon that I sell anything outside the UK... 🔵

It just seems if you alter anything in a listing these days, something will be reactivated, or unticked. Like if you switch from auction to buy it now, the 'accept best offer' option switches itself on... very irritating.

Yeh i got a wierd international sale other day for like a keyring. Must have cost the buyer in the states a fortune. I don't understand why they do that. Mind u I never have.

One other thing I've switched off is "automatically send buyers offers" because it's a nightmare and u end up with 100 postage policies which becomes a confusing mess.

I'm also about to lose my top seller status as none of my shipments are landing on time. Ebay really are mean with their estimate delivery dates. If i set my settings to 3-5 day courier, I lose the benefits of even being a top seller. 4% late arrivals out of like 800 sales. Its a joke. It is what it is tho.

Over in 'Technical Issues' there are a couple of threads about another GSP glitch that has been going on for a few weeks.

Some sellers are finding that the GSP prices are not displaying properly, so that potential buyers can't see the shipping price when they select their country from the drop-down menu. It just defaults to 'Check item description or contact seller for postage options.'

If you sell outside the UK, check your listings to see if this is happening to you.

GSP glitches really annoy me cuz I did sell tons to america before. Now my items dont appear. They do if i select normal shipping to america.
