Buying from Ebay in the states

[tony-d]

Hi

i have seen some really cheap husky 455 rancher for sale including postage to my holiday home in italy they work out at just under £300.00

does anybody know if there is anything on top to pay once they arrive the advert states they are new, or factory refurbs.

Any thoughts on this??

yes you got to pay a import duty on them i think aroung 15 to 20% of what ever it is but i think that if its marked down on the custom declaration as a gift there kno charge

i bought a camera from the states a few years ago......when it was delivered there was a bill for an extra 50 odd quid to cover customs fees.

You have to pay the VAT if asked , but if Royal Mail tries to stiff you for a Clearance Fee for collecting that VAT , you dont have to pay that .

Offer to pay the VAT and if they refuse to give you the parcel once thats paid , they are in serious trouble for withholding royal mail

I bought a Fiskars Super Splitter(7854) , they tried to charge me VAT of £10.02 and a clearance fee of £8.00.

I offered to pay VAT and was refused parcel, long story short , i got my parcel , they waived or paid themselves the VAT and got £50.00 compensation for my trouble

so got the 7854 free.

Oh best spliiting tool ever

Be careful if you use paypal - I think you get stuffed on the exchange rate.
