Global Shipping Program, how is cost to buyer figured?
So I have my accounts enrolled in the global shipping program but I'm confused on an aspect though... I usually just put in free shipping for USA, then the checkbox to send it to GSP partner for international... but I never change the custom weight/dimensions since shipping is free for US. Sooooo, how does GSP know what to ACTUALLY charge the customer before it arrives at the center??
Like this past sale, when I accepted the offer it showed "$43 international priority to xxx", now is that based on the 6 oz default weight EB put into the auction for me (so I could charge exact shipping if I wanted)? Or do they maybe charge flat-rate based on category? Because, it was going to cost ME around $12-$15 to ship inside US, I imagine it would be WAY MORE than 2x to go overseas. I'm just wondering if say, buyer pays, I ship to GSP, GSP see's it is much more to send overseas and tries to collect from buyer/problems ensue. Does this happen or am I just overthinking it?
