im sure most of you ebay buyers are aware but i wasnt,bought $31.00 of vinyl from states but hit with £3.60vat charge and £8.00 royal mail international handling fee!!,isnt that your postage charge you already paid ,its just a rip off . anything over value of £36 even if marked as gift is subject to customs charges

I can beat that, they charged me roughly the same for a record valued at 22 dollars! Thats about 14 quid. This morning they charged me 18 quid for one valued at 54 dollars, they seem to just make up the figures.

have look at this Pete https://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content...;mediaId=400362
