As a buyer in Japan, this is what made me stop using Ebay completely.

I used to buy a lot of low to mid end cards on Ebay from sellers who offered resonable shipping. When this program started, the cost of sending a card here went from about 3$ from guys who would just send them in an envelope via standard airmail (which I never had a problem with over hundreds of transactions), to about 30$ to send it via this stupid, slower system. Most of the cards I was buying were in the 50 to 100 dollar range, so this change instantly made Ebay worthless to me as a way to get cards. I haven’t bought anything on there in years now.
