[plantman]

I'm not sure if this is relevant " Due to additional security measures, Australia Post have advised that articles over 453g and all Express Courier International and Express Post International services will be subject to an additional $9 security surcharge and may face transit delays of up to 48 hours "
& this payable by the seller.

Best bet would be to ask on RS Andy, as I am sure plenty will know, but it sure looks like we are going backward instead of forward where shipping things internationally are concerned.

once im cleared out im done selling on ebay, what kind of tit head thinks im responsible for his countries import tax...if he was in touching distance he would get a slap right now.

ebay will be on your side with this. They state that any import duties are the buyers responsibility.

if he rejects the parcel though i will have to refund his postage costs, thats whats worrying me, it cost me £35 to send it, if he refuses the bill it comes back to me and then he asks for a full refund

No duty tax to my knowledge and the postal service here is for the whole United States (It does not differ by state). I receive packages from all four points of the world and have never paid anytype of tax as there is no existing import taxes for individual private sales to citizens of the USA....so I do not know what smoke he is trying to blow up your ass.

good to hear, maybe trying to pull a fast one on me and return it, either way as soon as his signature is on that fed ex delivery note he can kiss my ass

iiiinteresting... the plot thickens...

Strange.
If he was trying to get out of it surely he could think up a better excuse?

TFB is bang on the money. There is no import tax to be paid if you live in the good old US of A. You should'nt have anything to worry about.

Sorry only just seen this. Grant is right. No import duty in the us. Sounds like he is trying it on.

Name & shame him Andy so we can all add him to our blocked bidder lists!
