• When you import items from outside the EU there is a very high probability that those goods will be subject to import charges • • These consist of VAT - Goods over £15 • • Import Duty - Goods over £135 • • Brokerage fee - Paid to the courier who pays the fees on your behalf (anywhere from £8- £20) • • These fees are nothing to do with the seller or eBay......they are levied on the buyer/importer by your government...... • • Failure to pay these charges upon delivery invalidates the Money Back Guarantee......meaning the goods will be returned to the seller & you will lose them & be unable to claim from eBay or Paypal • • • The exception to this is where the seller ships using eBay Global Shipping Programme • • In these cases the buyer pays these fees as a separate payment at the time of purchase
