    I won’t buy through Ebay’s “Global Shipping Program”

    I saw a clock I very much liked on Ebay. It was located in the UK. I placed the order. Something I'd never seen before popped up: My clock would be shipped using Ebay's "Global Shipping Program." There was an additional charge for this, but it was relatively small, and I figured it probably...
