    Posting/shipping matters is a major feature of the Ebay board, so yes that could well be appropriate, or even the Shopping board but certainly not here.

    BTW, it is absolutely the sender's responsibility to know about any import/customs issues before sending, so there is maybe a question of why the need for this thread arose in the first place..?

    Yes, those are the boards, but it's not obvious to go there unless you are familiar with the particular boards. 
    Ebay is under the heading
    Reduce Debt and Boot Income
    Making money, debt free diaries, bankruptcy, IVAs and DROs
    With some questions, the category is clear cut and asking about Blackpool, for instance, on this board is evidently wrong.  I think the OP's question is an example of a question that does not fit neatly into a category and posting here has some logic.  It has been answered and the board guides have not seen it necessary to move it elsewhere.
    I think we probably need to agree to disagree on this one pogofish !
