aaronsat:
I have seen a few bits on evil bay in the US and was unsure what the situation is with regards to taxes at customs - The first item is a pair of tires.

Whats the situation, will they get stopped, how much will i get charges???

Thanks Aaron

theRuler:
out of a couple of dozen items, i have only had one pulled up by customs
and they added VAT to the value on the label

beware of lengthy delivery times though. on many an occasion i have waited 8 weeks for a frame
by that time, it's disappeared of "my ebay"

its all about trust!

Ruler is correct,I was waiting on a frame set.
  After 8wks,looked up seller who was a ebay member for 4 yrs!
  Seller is not a member anymore,I cant lodge a item not received as 8wks have past,Pay the extrea and get it here safe
  For get about the taxs!!!!

Sometimes you get hit for Tax, sometimes you don't. Just allow for the Tax & yes pay the extra & get it Airmailed its worth it.

Thanks guy for all the advice - won the item and for only $30.00 so its under the threshold - its being sent UPS, so will be with me in a week.  Have confirmed it all with customs, so fingers cross.
