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?
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.
