Hi
Ive won item on ebay and its in the usa. seller looks fine 3 neutrals in 7578 sales,one says good seller one damaged in transit and one looks like buyer error. Item comes with all the coa's and other feedback looks fine.
Its alot of money for me and just wanted to ask if theres anything else i should know/do also if anyone knows what customs charge might be on an item over £100 pounds. thanks

Seems a bit late to be worrying if you have already bought it. The feedback looks fine unless there is any more indication of damage as of course if item does arrive damaged you'll have to ship it back again for a refund.

Might be a £5 to £10 handling fee on top.

It depends somewhat on what the 'type' of item is. For example, I never buy anything electronic - especially not cameras on eBay, but I'll happily buy a painting, since it's not something that could suddenly stop working in 3 months.

not sure what cat to put in the customs calculator.
also the shipping is included in my bid price. i put in clothing as a shirt is part of it and it said i could end up paying £60 gulp

Don't worry too much about the duty as this is likely to be only a few per cent and only applies for high value items. The main charge will be VAT which will be charged on the item value plus postage, normally at 20% and the clearance fee of typically 8-12 Pounds.

fingers tightly crossed
it will be worth it either way just wish id thought about that first doh

Is it a framed set - if so it is unlikely to be classified as clothing. If a collectors piece, it's likely to fall into TH 9705, with a reduced VAT rate of 5% and a duty rate of 0%
