Ebay charging customs fees for international buys :(
threaders:
The guys on the other site say you just pay the one customs fee, and the item goes to an ebay shipping center in the states and they have it organised with the uk customs. Ill let you know if I get a second charge, but I shouldnt think so. I think you would be better getting stuff from the bmxmuseum rather thatn ebay in the states in future, then again this could be a one off, who knows. Up to now it was always hit and miss with customs, sometimes you'd get away with it, then sometimes not and then trying to get the seller to mark packages as gift and put value at under £30. :-\

only a matter of time before sellers start looking elsewhere to sell their goods-getting too expensive now,even charge you 10% on your postage fees too :knuppel2:
threaders:
You can see the charges now on the items that I am watching on the states. you can see postage costs and underneath, customs charges, which I have never seen before:

I think I paid more than $102 in customs charges, when I had my performer shipped over here though :-[

You get the feeling if someone had enough money to throw at a start up they could really take ebay to the cleaners. Its obvious with the near monopoly they have in the market they can pretty much get away with anything >:(
