Should EBay advise customers when a product is subject to import duty?

Mentor11 months agoAll UK buyers should be aware that if they buy an item from outside the UK, or from a seller who is registered outside the UK, they'll be charged import fees. This applies to all purchases, not just eBay ones.
These are nothing to do with eBay or their sellers, import taxes are set by our very own HMRC.

Mentor11 months agoeBay obviously already advise you in their policy pages, see here:

If the item is under £135 ebay will generally collect vat at checkout which is clearly detailed. If a larger cost item then as a buyer its your responsibility to ensure any additional fees are paid.
