Not likely, but I guess it's a possibility?

It's a sellers choice whether they choose to use E-Bay shipping or not.
The majority of the cards I purchase now are way cheaper than Global and certainly cheaper than the price of the card I am purchasing.
Global is expensive and on the cards I purchase, is sometimes double and triple the price of the card.
It makes zero sense purchasing a $4.00-$5.00 card only to have to pay $14.00 dollars+ in shipping fees plus another few bucks for import fees which get applied using the Global shipping as well.
Most I usually pay now, to my door, is $4-$5 or less.
