Bump.

Hi @Floyd, I found this: Source: https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/143/~/ive-received-a-grey-fee-to-pay-card#:~:text=Any parcel assessed as being,are also liable for VAT.

Hi @Floyd – VAT you only pay once as far as I know; but you might need to pay handling fees to Royal Mail when the goods enter the UK. I got something sent from the EU, with a declared low value and I did not have to pay anything. Luck I guess.

Non-cheapie from EU report: It finally arrived directly to my home without having to pay anything extra. Shipping date: 19/01 Delivery date: 28/01 Sent as gift with a declared value of EUR 20.

@DukeBurgundy that's outrageous. I'd really like to know what's changed for the Post Office to charge an extra £8 handling fee. Sigh. In other news, the record I'm waiting from the EU has finally arrived in the UK after 8 days. It still needs to go through sorting, ready for delivery, etc. I'll update updating this thread.

Yes, I noticed something similar too. Perhaps it's something that each seller needs to configure, I don't know. However, unless it's declared as a gift, you'll have to pay VAT or VAT + Import Duty upon arrival to the UK (based on the £135 threshold). And perhaps some handling fees too?

Oh mate, don't get me all scared! This is no cheapie I've got in transit!

I've got one coming from EU still in transit. I'll report back probably next week when I get it.

Bumping this want.

@Ted Massey @Jnixon Yeah, I wouldn't expect prices to drop. The UK, albeit big, is just a piece of the soul market. I'm sure lots of those auctions stay local (US) and a huge portion makes it to Japan.

@Bo Diddley Thanks for the details. I too enjoyed several wins over the years. However, knowing that we'll have a 20% added on top of ALL sales, it will be a bit difficult to compete with other bidders. I have a few items I'm watching that will finish this week. I might be my last foray at the import game If, however, the value of the purchase is £135 or more, the 20% VAT will not be added and it will be dealt as it was before. Am I right in thinking that the VAT + import duty will be charged based on what's declared on the customs tax form – exactly as it was before?

@Bo Diddley I noticed that if I go to ebay.com whilst being logged in, the 20% is not shown. However, if I look at the same item (also logged in) in ebay.co.uk, the 20% is shown. Did you checkout via ebay.co.uk? All my items posted on ebay.com have the 20% VAT. Whilst some others, posted on EU ebay sites, do not. It's quite confusing.

Discogs thread on the subject: https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/830628 Reply from Discogs support on the subject:

Buying from the usual suspect ebay.com sellers might no longer be a an option with the 20% VAT added on top. I'm sure Discogs will soon update their tax policies – bummer. A good time to fill in wants in other genres that are easily sourced from within the UK, perhaps?

@Fish Fingers I missed the second part of your message! I wasn't familiar with that tune, and that live version is so much better than the one on the 12"! Nice recommendation. The intro is a homage to "Ooh I love It" by the Salsoul Orchestra – isn't it?

@candiman I love Gloria Scott's LP – and what a cover! I love the tune "Rocking you Eternally". I'm not familiar with the entire album, but I just read the credits and found that Marcos Valle is there playing in the aforementioned track, and also there's a version of Marcos's "Bicho No Cio" sung in English (I prefer Marcos's version though). As for Roy, I agree that he's fantastic but my favourite is probably "Lifeline". Edit: I just noticed that there's another Marcos Valle tune on that album "Baby Don't Stop Me". I also prefer Marcos's version.

@Fish Fingers oh, that's more one the dance side of things. I wasn't expecting that. Similar to the sound of Joey Negro (Dave Lee). I like that tune. I've never heard of them, so thank you. If you like that kind of stuff, give this a listen.

@Fish Fingers It's been a couple of weeks, and I can't stop playing "Easy Does It"

@The Yank I guess is one of those then, thanks! The B side is a fantastic tune!

Hi, Today, I came across the song "I Wonder Why" by The Ray Alexander Technique featuring Chris Bartley. I checked on Discogs and only 1 person has it. I know nothing about soul 45s and I'm wondering: Is this 45 one of those impossible-to-find holy grails? Thanks

Can't find this anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Condition VG+ or above. Thanks!
