eBay question (buying from UK)

[wurm]

There's an item I'm considering buying from a reputable seller/company in the UK. The item cost is just under $60 and shipping to U.S. is listed as $16.xx. The total is still the best I've found anywhere. My question is, am I going to get hit with any extra fees or taxes by buying from the UK? Does anyone here know from experience? Thanks.

I've ordered from the UK many times over the past 20 years, as high as $100, and have never had to pay a customs fee.

From wise.com, "The minimum threshold for import tax is $800. Goods valued below that are not subject to duty."

Thanks for that info. Good to know.

When I've purchased things on UK eBay, sometimes the listed shipping price to the US is incorrect. I would double check with the seller and confirm the shipping price to be sure. I've not encountered any extra fees or taxes.

Are you sure the S/H is in U.S.$ and NOT in Pounds Sterling? (it makes a difference).

Looks like it is.
