Quickie ebay question...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Quickie ebay question...

Say I won an item from a seller in the States, and the total including shipping was roughly £100, what should I expect customs charges to be?

Ta muchly y'fine bunch.

Depends what value is put on the import/export forms.

For 100 I'd expect to pay maybe 15 import tax. Probably a bit less. Been a while since I imported anything like that though.

Cheers Karl :)

Now I have to decide on whether I can justify spending £100 on He-Man figures...hmmm...

Should I get a bucket of cold water Aaron? ;) :D

It's all done with anyway-the guy didn't get back to me in time about the shipping. Pity, I wanted them. Consoled myself by spending £40 on other figures instead.
