highwhey | 01-16-2008 12:44 AM | Ebay account in the UK? I'm from the U.S. and am planning on opening a U.S. account tommorow with a giftcard and a new bank account, anyways, what do I need to open a UK account? Can I use the same info that I used from the U.S.? I have some stuff I want to sale and U.K. seems like a big market, hopefully customs won't rape me with their fees.(i'll just mark them as gifts) Thx |

i'm from the UK and have also opened a US ebay account easily... |
jerry0202 | 03-11-2008 04:52 PM | well,for now, credit card is not easy to pass! |
GreenBean | 03-11-2008 05:28 PM | Do not count on HM customs being nice always. |
Rosanna | 03-11-2008 07:51 PM | Hi, why don't you use your us account to list on the uk site? that's what I do, unfortunately they now require under 100 feedback to accept paypal. |
mantisinc | 03-12-2008 12:06 PM | Customs are fine if you mark your item at like, £10 or so. But yes, I would reccomend listing from your US account, new UK accounts require a UK bank account. |

I import shed loads Mant, and have used all the old tricks.. mark less than £36 etc.. mark as gift, problem being there, should the package go astray, your limited to claiming the amount on the Customs form from the US, which can be quite hairy if your shipping a £600 coin as £36 total..
Anyone know any ways of shafting the Taxman..>? |
GreenBean | 03-13-2008 07:05 PM | How .
If we knew the answer we would not need ebay. lol.;) |
dollybaby | 03-15-2008 05:35 PM | when i opened a new account a few days ago with a prepaid credit card dont know if thats different from a gift card but it made me confirm my telephone number aswell as entering in the card details, not sure if it was because i used a prepaid card though, but u would definately need a uk tel no. |
ebayhateluv | 03-15-2008 05:43 PM | Scouse:
I ship 6-8 pkgs/week overseas.. I use UPS..
-- I normally send as a sample. they are stationary items, some of them are $400..
There are 2 sections for ups.. The Declared Value (customs), and the Carriage Value (Ins amt)..
Ive been doing it this way for over 3 yrs, with no probs--I also circle--the receivers tax id#.. this is the most common reason for exception..ups starts clearing the pkg when it boards the 1st usa plane, they fax or teletype the info to the receiving countries customs...
BTW- I ve had 2 or 3 claims over the years,. where the "sample" value was like $50, and the Insurance was $600-- they have always paid.. |
scouse12345 | 03-16-2008 10:24 AM | Ebayhateluv (ffs can't you get a shorter name to type out) thanks for reply, i may just get US items sent to you to 4wd to me.. beneficial to yourself as well of course, i may let you sleep with me sometime.. cos i'm ever so kind like that..oh yeah! and easy :) |
mantisinc | 03-16-2008 10:34 AM | Scouse, seriously, stop hittin' it on with my g/f. |
GreenBean | 03-16-2008 04:45 PM | I just can not believe how fickle some people are. |
scouse12345 | 03-16-2008 08:54 PM | My apologies Mant, i find the fairer sex irriss..irristab.. erm! lovely :)
Does fickle mean... ever so easy Miss Green.. if so.. Yep.. Tis me..

mantisinc | 03-17-2008 01:35 AM | LOL, scouse, if me ma saw some of the stuff I type... I think I'd have to force myself to leave home :D | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:30 AM. | |
