Hey All UK owners

just a quick question, i am gearing my ex1 up getting more batteries/media and monitors etc.

I also have a Canon 60d.

I just inquiring, do any of you from the UK buy off US EBAY?

as i have seen some great deals on there. If you do how much do you get charged shipping/import duty tax etc.

Thanks

It will more than likely get caught at customs where you'll be stung for import duty and VAT. And then the courier company will probably whack a handling fee on. You'll almost certainly end up worse off,

I agree with Marcus. When the pound was right up against the dollar it was worth it, but not at the moment, even if you're VAT registered.

Re: Uk owners
 

thats what i thought. Thank you.

do you buy just off UK ebay. Any other sites of ebay such as other European countries?

Thanks

Forget ebay, you are more likely to be ripped off. Seek out a good UK based dealer.
