Re: [OT] Import costs for private Ebay sales

["Chris Bond" <chris@xxxxxxx>]

You have to pay VAT - what I usually do is ask the seller to mark the
parcel
as 50$ then you usually dont have to pay vat.  Be aware though if the
item
is more than that you usually take the risk of no insurance.

Kind Regards,
