I am in the U.S. and buy stuff from the U.K., Hong Kong, Canada, etc. and have never incurred an additional charge aside from the original eBay charge.

Depends entirely on what the seller has marked on the customs label. If they've put 'gift' (and many experienced ones do) then you should be fine. If they've put the value as $20 then that should also be fine, as I think that's the limit for non-gift imports. Sometimes you'll just get lucky, which may be the case for $28 if they're feeling lenient. Otherwise yo'll be hit with VAT plus a handling fee (£4 for post office, £8 upwards for other dlivery services).
Tip for next time - ask the seller if they'll mark the package 'gift' or even 'pre-owned', as second hand goods don't incur VAT, on the grounds that it was paid by the original purchaser.
Fingers crossed

probably, I dont know UK law but I sell on ebay and ship to Canada several times a week and in most providences there you would have to pay a small fee. Also it depends how the item is being shipped, if it is through the postal service the fee is smaller and if it is through something like UPS get out your wallet it could cost quite a bit.

No. you acquire it the day earlier at the moment AND it isn't fee matching to employ a low priced. in the shape you acquire a very luxury component, you would in any respect cases go back it and purchase it back with the 20% off coupon, despite the indisputable fact that that isn't any longer fairly properly worth it better usually than no longer. You spend that in gas attending to the position.

I believe you will have to pay taxes on it. I have a business on ebay and I'm very lenient to my international buyers about that by marking the item as a gift on the customs form, so they won't have to be taxed. Good Luck!

Yes unless the seller ships it as a gift, not putting a value on it.

Probably. If so, the mail man will ask you for the money before he gives you the package.

You will know when the mailman delivers it if there are additional charges.
