guy's does anyone us the US ebay to buy their vintage stuff, just looking at some MOC and the prices aren't to bad and they have more choice, just wondered what your experiences are with US Ebay

Talk to the seller beforehand, many will put a low value on the customs form so you don't have to pay the tax. Even if you do, you should be able to claim it back from HMRC (there's another thread about this somewhere), so you'll only pay the handling fee.
Make sure you're going to be happy with the item, you don't want to have to do a return
