There's no such thing as "export duty"........................(says he with 35 years of international logistics experience)

This is one mighty big rip off !!!! Sellers can now send their sold item to a US based office instead of directly to the internaional buyer. Ebay's "Global Shipping" office then re-sends them overseas but of course charges for it, the cost is passed onto the buyer. Yesterday I bought a record for $30.00 and the guy wants $22.00 to ship it. I've pointed out to him that all he needs to do is post it directly to me and we both win. However like most Americans, if it's not Canada or Mexico they go into vertigo type spasm. I will risk a black mark from Ebay rather than pay for a service that's not needed. Very short term view from Ebay's side, overseas buyers just won't buy low cost items. I wanted to buy some PC software, the cost was $35.00, shipping $12.00, so far so good but there would have been an "import duty charge" of some $22.00 I pointed out that anything shipped with a total value (cost of item + shipping costs) off less than $75.00 incurs no duty charge they replied that in fact the "import duty" charge was the service charge of re-shipping the item and that I could face further import costs at destination. As I said a 1st class rip-off that is sure to backfire in the long term...............

A pal of mine collects these and is looking for some more, anybody got any for sale please let me know. Many thanks and Happy New Year.
