Good Day. On ebay on the phone I want to purchase there is a import fee that pay on ebay on checkout. So since I pay the import fee on ebay will I get a custom fee again when it arrives to south Africa?
Hi Khetha, please may I ask how much you paid for your actual parcel? I'm trying to get an idea of what % of the value of the item purchased overseas do they charge for customs
Please inform us more how to buy from ebay please, i really want to make a purchase but on the other hand im very careful as the item(keyboard) i wanna buy is quite expensive, and i have never made use of ebay, so plz tell me how and what do i do and register
Bidding is fun, you sometimes get expensive items at an affordable price just be sure to check the import charges and all the extra cost included before bidding
Hello I made a purchase on ebay,my package is at fedex since 18 of July my delivery date being saying pending and I payed the import duties but they still telling me they want proof of payment.
I've been trying to purchase used camera, new gaming laptop and a Iphone unlocked even though the prices are quite cheap, but I'm worried about the customs fee on these items
Eish I made the same mistake! Please may I ask, if I'm importing something like a smartphone will they charge me a crazy amount of money (over R500)? And after I pay that amount will they then deliver the order to my door?
Door delivery will depend on the courier the seller used, if post office then you will have to go collect. Custom fees depends on the value of the item
@@Directorvhim Thanks alot for the info! One last question plz so that I can save up: I bought a R3000 used phone on eBay and paid R612 for shipping using eBay standard international shipping. So do you think that they will possibly charge me below R1000 for customs fees ? They can't charge me more than R1000 its unfair
@@venator7889 You should pay less, Scroll through the sellers description, there's a section which should states weather you will pay extra fees on arrival or not. Even if you will pay it should be less, not 1000
Okay, in most cases you will have to pay for the custom duties which is normally calculated base on the cost of the items, since it's just shoes I don't think it should cost much, shipping is normally free but if the seller used express shipping like FedEx, DHL or ups then you will also have to pay the shipping cost that's only if its not paid by the seller.
I want to buy on eBay and its my first time. Is it possible to get scammed on eBay? If yes, what are the precautions to avoid that? Thank you in advance!
Yes, shipping can even be 5x more expensive than the item depending on where you are, weight and other factors, also don't forget to put custom duties into consideration
@@fanasithole5437 Shipping duration differs, item can arrive even in 3days depending on the shipping method used. Ask the seller for more information and normally estimated delivery dates are listed on every item.
I bought an item from UK I tracked it it's at jhb INT MAIL centre hub the delivery was supposed to be 1 week before even now i haven't got it and they haven't sent me any email notifying me anything. I stay in johannesburg is it possible for me to collect it my self
