trade via internet

[Geronimo]

kel sha ,

this was my first trade i 've done via internet ..
i ordered an "apophis fan card" from ebay -- i "won" the auction and then i emailed the company for infos -- i send them money via mail 'cos i've no credit card or cheque or so ... , the company recieved the money and sent it back to me and now i get a letter from our customs that i must send them a "value confirmation" of the trade object .. so i 've to send the company an email that they sould send me a scanned bill or a confirmation of the trade .. i am now waiting but i think that was the first and last trade i make into a country outside the EC ..

due to the fu***ng EC i 've to pay about 60% more for 1 dollar 'cos the "euro" is currently very weak ..
then this customs control of a letter (!!) when u send into a non-EC-country ..

finally i must say that the fu***ng EC has to more only disadvantages !!!

if any other proud EC citizen (*LOL*) has the same probs plz post here ..

Kree sha (and if apophis attacks the earth i 'll advise him to destroy the stupid institution of the EC first !!!)

P.S.: i must say that EBAY and the company where I've ordered are very fast and caused no problems in trade only this EC ..

hehe, i tried to buy a SG vid from EBAY and the bid got to about $80 Australian, that is enough to buy four vids! so i lost the bid

When you win on ebay. You might see if the person sending you the merchandise will mark the customs form gift. Then you don't have to worries about paying the customs. I think it's bending the rules some but it only hurts if you get caught

Kel Sha, Geronimo,

Am sorry that you had so much trouble with customs! My twin does receive a lot of mailings from all over and has never had problems and he uses internet but has a special credit card just for foreign (outside US) exchanges.

Kree sha.
