Global shipping program item under review

[SaiJin]

Anyone has had this email they sent you saying the item is under review as it may potentially contain prohibited item?

What the heck?

[Leader2dark]

I see this all the time with what I sell. No big deal passes every single time.

[SaiJin]

What’s the average time usually?

[Leader2dark]

Day or two. Not long.

[SaiJin]

Well, let’s hope they don’t decide to be stupid with mine.

They were just reviewing your shipment to make sure it's legal to be put on a plane and flown internationally. Certain items (certain Li-ion batteries for example) are ground transport only and can't be flown.. so they're just checking for any of those kinds of restricted items. I've had dozens of shipments reviewed by GSP. Many times the item in question actually wasn't permissible for international air transport but eBay puts in on the plane anyway after their little review (where I'm pretty sure they just hold onto your shipment for a few hours before putting it back in the mail stream).
