Ebay And Paypal

[Steve-O]

Ok, I use Ebay and PayPal quite alot

I Pay for my Item Right After the auction has finished so the Seller receives his payment about 1 minute after I have won the item.

What REALY annoys me is the time it takes for the seller to actually send the item. Ive been waiting over a week now for this stuff I bought

Dont get me wrong, there is sellers out there that post out straight away ..

Anyone else find that anoying /???????

I find it annoying, but it's lovely when the item arrives the next day.

Wel I buy allot on ebay and I use Paypal allot too.
But the item always comes fast.
I never had to wait more then 7 days.

 

[Steve-O]

the longest I have wated was 2 and a half months

Its even more annoying when people dont pay for a week or so. Trust me

 

[Exo]

The most annoying thing is when sellers have items on then tell you some shit like they are going on holiday so you have it wait an extra week or so

Wtf they selling stuff for if they have already planned to go away :angry:

 

[Vimacs]

many guys are selling stuff they dont have and buy it when you orded it, thats why the shipping times are sometime kind of long

 

[Mosch]

Vimacs, yeah, I had one of those once. Got really pissed off when, after four weeks, I asked where my items are... :huh:

Well, I can wait a week or two... but it's really annoying if you sell something and the buyer doesn't answer your E-Mail. Got something like this going at the moment...

Do you ever get stung by customs with tax, i know you can get marked as a gift but what if you insure the amount has to be declared..

about to bid for something from states today, its second hand mind you but wouldn'tmind insuring.

 

[loz_the_guru]

If you get it marked as a gift sure it doesnt matter if its insured or not? Also, how much is tax from the US?

BOUT 25% which seems silly on something second hand, i was researching ear;ier and some guy who lived in the states for a few years when he moved back to the he couldn't take his painting easle back on the plane so insured it and sent it back to the UK by post, customs stung him for £50!

So make sure if your travelling abroad and staying and friends make sure you don't forget anything expensive behind when you leave to come back to the uK!

OooooOoooOOoo.....Just bought an ibook for £400 from th US, If i get it marked as a gift am I still going to be charged income tax?

​

yes,

I think it depends on teh Value of the Item as well.. If they say its valued at £100 or under then u should be ok...

I think its that,,,

Theres a UK Import Governemt web site thing somewhere that tells you the value of stuff that you can get without paying tax or something...




Also, I got home and found a YOU HAVE A PARCEL WAITING TO BE COLLECTED Leaflet. Wounder whats arrived

 

[loz_the_guru]

Arghhh, anyone know a way around this?
