This is driving me nuts.
The Arduino IDE insists that it can't communicate with my atmega328p using my USBasp, the kicker is that AVRDUDESS has no problems communicating.
I'm able to export the binaries from the Arduino IDE and flash using AVRDUDESS.
Can anyone see what I'm missing here?
update the uspasp firmware by refering here https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Update-the-Firmware-on-a-Cheap-USBasp-Clone/ this solved for me
hope it helped you

It did indeed help me, thank you!
I was skeptical when i saw that the newest firmware is from 2011, but it works like a charm!
Happy to hear the good news ,as the problem is solved please add [solved] at the end of the subject as to make others aware
FYI, that firmware is actually a downgrade from the proprietary firmware the Chinese USBasp come with. That AVRDUDE message tricks a lot of people into wasting time with unnecessarily "updating" their firmware.
If you do want to update the firmware, there is a really nice community version that is an update (though the Chinese firmware works fine as long as you aren't doing an "Upload using programmer" to an ATmega2560 or similar):
