Frenchie Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I ve been looking for a handbag for a while now, just found one I like on e bay , but it s from Japan, do you sometimes buy from Japan or Hong Kong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have bought things on ebay from Hong Kong and not had any problems. Other people have had difficulty, so I'd advise you to look carefully at the seller's feedback record and make up your own mind about whether or not you want to deal with them. Another thing to watch is that the postage charges can often wipe out most of the apparent cost saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I assume that if like the UK then there could be an import duty tax to pay depending on the original cost. I have been caught on tax duty to pay both from Hong Kong and the USA.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 After Will's answer I thought it might not be such a good bargain, I keep looking in France ..Merci to both of you for taking the time to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Frenchie show us a picture of the one you like .... and we could all have a look round and tell you if we see any simular ones and where .....Although your talking to some one who has a handbag in the shape of a sheep and puts no thought into buying things like that..........[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I guess you are trying to buy a counterfiet version of something expensive. If customs open it, they will compensate it; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How do you know it isn't a copy Frenchie ?If it's a designer label yet cheap enough for you to be considering buying from Hong Kong then that in itself should raise suspicion.
