postimg.org/image/h6bdxkp1p/I think the import charges are totally bogus as my country does not charge customs on any good labelled as a gift or identified as second hand items. But now i see this on every US auction I win...

Ugh, that sucks! Just another "improvement" from eBay to take more money away from users. Is anybody else getting these?

Ain't it because the seller use the global shipping program ? Sadly more and more sellers use this thing, so its not good for the buyer's.

It"s the Global Shipping program, I have also been charged on that. Only US sellers use this and labeling it import charges is misleading. Try asking the seller to let you pay directly to PayPal outside of Ebay to avoid the Global Shipping Program. This has worked for me once.

Paypal doesn't offer any sort of buyer protection? It looks like they added the Global Shipping Program recently to encourage reluctant US-based sellers to sell internationally. The program takes care of customs paperwork and other things the average seller doesn't want to deal with. It also says sellers are not responsible for refunding items damaged or lost in the mail once the item leaves the US postal company's possession. pages.ebay.com/help/sell/shipping-globally.html

So who does the refunding for items damaged or missing?

So who does the refunding for items damaged or missing? I don't know. That's just what I read on the webpage. Maybe that fee they take from you is some sort of insurance pool.

I got a US contact to receive it for me and send it to me with 2 other games.
Hope the rest of the collectors don't have to go through this nonsense.
