Buying from eBay Germany

[peter m]

Can anyone give me advice on buying something from eBay. Looking at purchasing some spare alloys and was wondering how I fair with vat and import duty.

Don't hold me to this but isn't it for the seller to factor that into their price?

Also, consider these - http://www.ds3club.co.uk/forum/the-p...bellone-alloys

I'm not sure, don't want to pay vat on them when they come into uk.
Bellone no good for me need 18 inch wheels.

Think you are OK in the EU (for the next few months)
USA and rest of world may well be different, but there should be a warning on the advert

[peter m]

Ok Chris ,that's what I was thinking. The advert is in German and using Google translate it appears the price includes vat ,so that's one less thing to worry about also says no import duty payable. So might go ahead and order them .

I've had tyres, both used and new from Germany. The price on the advert was what I paid. think u should be good to go.

Decided to go ahead and buy the wheels from eBay Germany fingers crossed hope they are as good in pictures shown.

I'm liking those alot peter m . Hope they are look as good as the pictures - and get a pic up when they are on your DS3. Are they 17's?

[peter m]

They are 18" performance 210 wheels.

That's the thing with eBay.......
hope they are good for you

The wheels I'm buying from eBay are identical the ones that are fitted as standard on my performance ds3 . These will be a spare set with winter tyres fitted . Set of 4 is costing a little bit more than what 1 would cost from Citroen, hopefully they will be as good as pictures sent to from seller.

Received wheels today , very good condition, was a bit worried though they may not have been as advertised.
