You know if you buy something off eBay.com and the seller ships it from the USA to the UK, will I need to pay custom fees etc? If so, how much and are there other fees I would need to pay on top of that? Thanks.

it depends how the seller decides to put it through customs, if he says its a gift to you then you wont pay charges

It's tax at customs. If it costs over a certain amount, they'll tax you. Also, 1 in 6 packages are opened up and the taxed randomly.

It depends. You may have to, you may not, just depends if they stop it. Pot luck. Be prepared to pay, you will probably end up paying.

Hope you don't.

I've bought loads of things from the US/China/other places, never ever been charged extra.
