I listed an item and stated shipping to USA only, then went to send invoice and got this. Its all packed in a flat rate box for shipping inside the US. I don't do or know how to do global shipping or calculate price and I don't want to deal with it.
My listing. Shipping to USA only then this. What to do???

You have to opt out by doing this- from your my ebay page go to - account - site preferences - under "selling preferences" go to shipping preferences (click show) - Offer the Global Shipping Program - click "edit" on the right hand side, change the yes to a no. Gotta wait 24 hours for it to take effect any sales until then you gotta send to Ky.. It's a rip off for the customer really. The end up paying more money using this service. Many of them don't realize it. It's a third party shipping service. Pitney-Bowes are the ones making the money, about 15-30% more than they would be paying using standard postal methods.

just as i thought, I was signed up (by ebay) to do this. I have now opted out. fortunately no out of country buyer has ever bought anything. I have heard horror stories about this program, especially mentioning Pitney-Bowes. (opening packages and repacking very badly where things break)
