clarkpegasus4001 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) You fellow Basschatter's may be able to shed some light on this for me. I've just been on the Ebay USA site and saw a bass that states the price, shipping cost and Ebay Global Shipping Programme (GSP). My question is, does that mean you pay in advance for the import duty/tax etc.... and therefore when the bass arrives in the UK you don't have anything else to pay? Or do the UK try to sting you as well? I'm just curious as i've not heard of this system. Has anybody had any experiences of this system and can shed some light on it? Is it good or a rip off? When i've bought stuff from the USA before, I would normally pay for the bass and shipping only, then collect the equipment and pay import duty and taxes on collection.

Musky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This has cropped up a few times in recent months. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216689-ebay-global-postage-system http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227346-ebays-global-postage-programme Long story short: You shouldn't have to pay any extra tax/duty, but it introduces a middle man that takes a cut.
