Also works (or doesn’t) buying from abroad. eBay is now dead for overseas buyers as many sellers get conned into using the Global Shipping Program. This not only delays items but adds significantly to postal costs. Saw a used door handle for my daughter’s ZS180, price £9 - fine, but postage, fees etc added £19 to the total. Found one in Bulgaria instead. The wife buys used books from eBay, or used to, got an import bill for a £2.40 book last week, 1skr due in VAT (8 pence) but 75kr in handling charges, didn’t pay it, don’t care what they do with it. Just refuse to play their silly games - there used to be a levy free threshold of about £25 before Sweden joined the EU - now there is none. Not good for anyone these games - certainly doesn't benefit car owners/consumers.
