Do you have to pay customs for eBay?

If you’re buying from a seller who isn’t sending the item through the Global Shipping Program, you’ll pay the cost of delivery at checkout. However, you may still have to pay any necessary customs, import fees, and taxes when your item arrives.

How much does global shipping cost on eBay?

There is no fee to use the Global Shipping Program but sellers will still have their usual eBay and PayPal fees to pay on the sale price (but not on the additional fees that the buyer pays). Buyers see estimated shipping and import charges on the listing, which are then confirmed at checkout.

How do I avoid custom charges?

There is no way to avoid customs duties, customs officers will check all items entering the country and charges will be applied where necessary. If you simply put ‘gift’ on the customs invoice, this does not mean it will not attract duty as they will still check the value of what is in the box.
