international postage ebay

[chris123]

hi,

don't know if this is the right place to post this but if i buy a pc game on ebay from america what chances are there that i'll get charged more by customs etc (i live in the UK) ?

how do i reduce my chances of getting these charges?

Cheers.

It's a lottery to be honest, but small items like that often get through no problems. It helps if the game is NOT sealed in it's box (you can say it's not new) and there is no reciept/invioce slip in the package. Also help's to write 'gift' on it. All depends on how on the ball the seller is.

i think the seller has posted games internationally before, and has got away with it, so i will just risk it i think.

cheers for the reply
