  • I've won an auction for a tent from the US which should have been great but seller is part of eBay's global shipping programme which means that there's a big charge on top of shipping costs - any idea what I'd be asked to pay by Royal Mail (presume percentage of value plus flat charge) if they did catch tent as it came through?

  • Shouldn't be anything else to pay - thats the whole point of the Global Shipping Program - that all taxes etc are paid up front.

  • In my experience (which is shipping to Switzerland not UK, but should be the same) the extra charge covers exactly those fees, and no more import fees are added.
    I have come to quite like ebay's global shipping program.
