Summary: moul_9563 bought a lot in Australia on eBay and paid €54 in customs duties. However, the French post office is still asking for another €36 upon delivery, which surprises them because that brings the total to €80 in taxes. koalagris advised checking an eBay link for more information about paying the taxes.

Hello everyone,

I need help because I bought a lot in Australia and I paid 54 Euros in customs taxes on Ebay. The postman (French Post) is demanding 36 Euros in customs duties to give me the package, which will make 80 Euros in taxes in total. Is this normal? What can I do?

For your information, I’ve already bought in Australia, Canada, and the United States, and this has never happened.

The seller I contacted does not know and does not see what he can do.

Thanks in advance for your help, which will be invaluable to me.

Kind regards.

Carine
