Good ol' Babelfish

I was nosing round on ebay.de a few nights ago looking at Corsa A's. No different to ebay.co.uk in terms of price and quality IMO.

I've bought a few things on German ebay now, it seems some of them have a habit of picking random shipping costs (even if you email them asking how much first - when I asked about one item prior to bidding, the seller told me €4.60, then charged me €12.90 at checkout!).

I've also made the mistake of not checking for paypal before bidding on something, so have to bank transfer the money for one item. Hmmm, a ?20 charge for a SWIFT transfer, for an item that only cost about ?15 lol

Thats got a totallyt different AFM to what UK GSi & GTEs have.

just thought I'd share my findings....ho hum.

lol have you had any trouble with customs charges?

I'm always worried about paying huge charges for cheap things.. thus making it cheaper to buy it here.

I've seen some massive customs charges working for parcelforce... scarey thing there was that Parcelforce pay the charges on the customers behalf.... while international parcels are listed on the drivers manifests they aren't shown as having charges or not... therefore the drive can pocket the money and not hand it in.. unless asked for it. The normal excuse is "oh I put it in my wallet for safe keeping"

Surely its LHD?

CBA'd to look again.

lol have you had any trouble with customs charges?
Nope, only time I've had to pay VAT & Duty was on my wheels from America, but then I'd calculated how much it would cost beforehand (rates are available online) so had the money there ready. Thankfully the parcel was shipped across by Fedex who handled it through customs, then passed it to a UK courier (can't remember who off the top of my head now), instead of being given to Parcel Farce/Royal Mail - I've heard stories of them paying the charge, then turning up on your doorstep asking for money!

I've bought an induction kit (>?100) and brakes (>?260) from Japan, not had any customs charges. Tbh low value stuff from Europe is unlikely to attract any charges, and even if it did the amounts wouldn't be much at all. None of the stuff I've bought from Germany, Spain, France, and Luxembourg and not had any charges, also not on stuff from Hong Kong.

Incidentally, all items I've bought have had full price marked on them. Often sellers label them as "gift" with zero value, if customs find out they're purchased items then you're the one that gets nicked, not the seller!!

[craig green]

yes it is!
