This Message to all buyers buying from ebay.com

- If the seller is declaring the value of product purchase as a free gift under $10 (or $20 i am not sure) then you don't need to pay any customs.
- If the seller is declaring that item is for sale and declares the real value of product, then you need to pay the customs and the customs depend upon the product category.

Hey shreyansh0290,

I believe you are looking at an item on eBay.com and want to know if you can buy the same through Global EasyBuy.

Just copy the Item ID of the listing on eBay.com, go to www.globaleasybuy.com and enter that Item ID in the search box and click 'Enter'. If that listing comes up in the search results on GEB, then yes you can buy it through GEB.

Also, prices on GEB are all-inclusive and include the cost of shipping, customs, etc.

Hope that clarifies.

Cheers

Hey williamhlt,

How are you? Purchase of items of any value is completely safe on Global EasyBuy. Not only is the payment made through PaisaPay, one of the safest payment mechanisms in India but your money is also protected under the eBay Guarantee program (you can read more about it here - http://pages.ebay.in/guarantee/)

In fact, we have had purchases as high as Rs. 1 lac happen on Global EasyBuy in the recent past. Don't worry, shop happy!

Cheers

Guys
Please suggest what to do i have a big issue described below-

1)I want to import from a US site
2)The site does not offer courier options - ONLY Express Mail International
3)they do not undervalue goods[Hi-res Video Glasses] so they will mark the order as US $499

Now how to import as this item is not available through Global Easybuy which i'd prefer most of the time

Please suggest what to do - i have not paid yet...
