    If the vendor ships (and many ebayers do) then that's all you need to care about. It's a stupid law and many ignore it, but it's their business not yours.

    Yes at worst you may have to pay VAT and Duty and any handling charge applied in the UK.

    Thanks everyone for some really useful information. I don't uuppose anyone knows at what value dollar wise you start paying duty?. Do you pay VAT regardless of the items value?.

    Kindest regards

    There are thresholds, look them up, below which it's not worth them charging because presumably the admin costs more.
