Hi ,


I am not sure whether it is right forum to ask this question , please free to move it to right location , but please help me , I am right now in India and I can see that so many official products which are quite expensive in UK are available cheap in India.


Please note that they are official products available here , not duplicate products.


for example
Gillette Fusion Manual Blade - 4 Cartridges - available at 4.89 pound (Made in Poland) - Average price in UK is 9 pound plus


Are we allow to sell those products in UK via ebay or amazon ?


any advise ?

    Well I certainly would not buy from you. By the time you factor in postage, time delays in getting the product, the loss of consumer protection, the possibility of buying counterfeits, the difficulties seeking redress in the event of non delivery or unsatisfactory quality.... I could go on. And I almost never pay RRP for a product in the UK anyway. People do run successful import - export businesses, but not with the aim of undercutting International companies with their own products in their own market places

    You could buy a few, and resell them over in the UK I don't think their is any legal problems with that ~ but without knowing 100% you can't walk though customs with 10k worth of razors without paying some sort of import tax etc.

    Then as above, if say you sold on eBay you'd have to factor in pay pal fees, ebay fees postage costs alone would be £2.50+ so straight away your profit margin is gone.
    People don't know what they want until you show them.
  • Hi, great thoughts, there is no legal issue for resell of products. That is the best way to earn money online.
