You'll be fine. I hope you took photos of the package before opening it, and of the contents you received. That should be enough to make your case.

I did take pics of it closed, and open

Agreed^. You’ll get your money back, the seller will keep what you paid, and eBay will eat a...let’s just say loss. GSP should be abolished. It’s an absolute nightmare and several different shipping agencies open and inspect the contents. Pure garbage.

Absolutely garbage

Happens all the time with Global shipping. The item gets sent to a distribution centre in the USA where it gets redirected on a cheaper carrier, sometimes even being repackaged so they save cash on shipping whih is kind of shady. Some thieving SOB took your jacket and stuffed it with his dirty work clothes.

Ebay does does that Global Shipping scam to Canada also and I had a package show up minus the Persol sunglasses that were supposed to be inside. My mailman and I chat sometimes and I happened to open the box while talking to him so he posed for some photos with an empty box and I sent those to ebay along with my complaint.

The seller had good feedback and he said ebay will reimburse him no issues so he sent my refund back asap. If ebay was so quick to offer cash back this must happen very frequently.

The global import charges they assault you with are also very inflated (to Canada anyway) so ebay must make good cash off of it to keep going even with them writing off stolen goods.

Good to know

I called Ebay yesterday as soon as I opened the package and the representative told me not to worry it would be resolved. I had no idea that the package was opened and re-sealed until now. What is the point of this? All it does is give the person opening an opportunity to take or swap whatever they like or want for something else. I honestly think someone took the jacket and replaced it with the items I received because nobody would even post an Ebay add for a pair of boots and a hoodie for sale, it would be two different listings and two different shipments/ 2 different parcels.

Bought a beautiful suede jacket a while back. While being repacked at a GSP station, someone decided he liked the jacket, flagged the package as forbidden content and had ebay refund me my money (which was only a fraction of the jackets actual value). Turned my good deal into someone elses good deal. Not using GSP anymore. Trying to avoid ebay alltogether.

Unbelievable

I really just wanted to bring attention to the situation so that no one else would go through this. So guys please don't take the risk and buy something when the gsp is doing the shipping, save yourself from the headaches.

Well, as said you should at least be covered and get your refund from them but yes, its good to be warned when buying things where this is the only postage offered.

It does put me off when sellers only offer shipping this way but if its something I really want I'll take a gamble and I've had a couple of items arrive fine. Is doubly annoying when you won a bargain and it disappears though.

I'd be interested in how it works myself. I know from the tracking items sent with it seem to bounce all over the place before they leave the US.

I've nothing useful to contribute but all reading all this is making me so angry... But yeah, eBay's idiotic GSP is the worst. I've only once had something shipped through it and it took the item almost a month to arrive from another EU country.

So sorry this had happened, @John D Maccarter . Things will get resolved quickly I'm sure but and I hope with all my heart that the thieving scum who stole your jacket gets caught.

You’ll get your money back but what a disappointment!

I personally used the GSP several times with no issues but I understand one incident like this is enough to put one off. Honestly, they should be more on top of those subcontractors handling the parcels. Why do they even have to undo and re-package to begin with...

There is another thread Re eBa//Paypal/GSP

Some forum members came to the aid of GSP in that thread, but I think it's "Chit" myself !

I'm a longtime Ebay seller and list my items with GSP. Before that I used to ship internationally myself and for years that was fine, but after a number of things happened, such as international shipping fees going through the roof, and Ebay/Paypal making their claim/refund setup so easy for the buyer that it started inviting fraudsters, I stopped shipping internationally altogether until they started the GSP.

I get the grumbling, sure it's a disappointment when you're looking forward to receiving something and it goes south. But from the sounds if it, everyone that's had an issue was taken care of quickly. And problems like this are rare. At least there is an option available now to purchase an item that you wouldn't be able to under the old system from sellers that otherwise wouldn't want to deal with the headaches of international buyers.
