Looks like they are exiting from the universal postal union because they don't want to keep subsidizing for China's cheap postal rate, which IMO is a wonderful move. Īccording to the Postal Regulatory Commission, the loss to USPS attributable to terminal dues reached $134.5 million in fiscal year 2016 and $170 million in fiscal year 2017." *to cover applicable duty, SALES TAX, and a ~$5US service a 2015 report, the USPS’ Inspector General found. It might be worth noting that MP is run by a Dutch company, Ayden, which, in my opinion, may understand international commerce better than the US-based Paypal. How does the Board Poster believe Managed Payments would affect that? That's handled by Paypal, who competently sort the import fees over to Pitney Bowes and the actual payment to the seller. The GSP has nothing to do with the payment process.

With our risible $20Cdn duty free allowance, we rightfully detest the GSP, but from the seller's point of view, it does a good job of Seller Protection.
This also means there is no chance of the customs scam where the buyer refuses to pick up the parcel until they get a refund, then pay the customs and get their purchase for a percentage of the value. It means that US and UK sellers can use cheap tracked domestic shipping to send the purchase to Kentucky, after which GSP/Pitney Bowes takes over responsibility for delivery.įrom the buyer's perspective, GSP means that import fees* have been collected before the seller ships, so no shocks on the doorstep.
GSP (spit spit spit) is a Seller Protection program.
