  • Thanks. For clarity, are you saying the import duty is marked into the USD price if you are looking at a US listed item from the U.K. on eBay?

    I’m looking at some spendy tub wheels with a BIN price.

  • Normally, you’ll see the BIN price, and then you’ll see a fuck load more added on for the “international forwarding centre” or whatever they’ve decided to call their money grabbing scheme for skimming off the top of whatever import duty and tax you may or may not pay as an importer to the UK.

    Basically eCunts (eBay) have cleverly hedged their bets against the worst possibile scenario of you importing that product, charging the worst possible tax and handling, and then pocketing the difference. It’s like a gamble - only 90% of the time eBay win, yet give you no option to try and win yourself and will charge you that worst cast scenario tax.
