Buying an item in Japan
Summary: didda-1184 asks about buying Hi-Fi items from Japan, especially how to calculate the final price after taxes are applied in order to compare it with prices from European stores. They also want to know how customs fees are handled when buying on eBay and whether these are calculated automatically or require additional steps.
Hello, I’m interested in some Hifi items for which almost all the listings are from Japanese sellers.
My question is twofold,
how can I find out the actual final price after taxes have been applied so I can compare it to the prices shown in European stores?
And how are customs fees handled for payment on e-bay? Is it calculated automatically when paying for the order, or do I have to take separate steps?
Thanks in advance
