Good Day. On ebay on the phone I want to purchase there is a import fee that pay on ebay on checkout. So since I pay the import fee on ebay will I get a custom fee again when it arrives to south Africa?
Hi Khetha, please may I ask how much you paid for your actual parcel? I'm trying to get an idea of what % of the value of the item purchased overseas do they charge for customs
Please inform us more how to buy from ebay please, i really want to make a purchase but on the other hand im very careful as the item(keyboard) i wanna buy is quite expensive, and i have never made use of ebay, so plz tell me how and what do i do and register
Bidding is fun, you sometimes get expensive items at an affordable price just be sure to check the import charges and all the extra cost included before bidding
Hello I made a purchase on ebay,my package is at fedex since 18 of July my delivery date being saying pending and I payed the import duties but they still telling me they want proof of payment.
Okay, in most cases you will have to pay for the custom duties which is normally calculated base on the cost of the items, since it's just shoes I don't think it should cost much, shipping is normally free but if the seller used express shipping like FedEx, DHL or ups then you will also have to pay the shipping cost that's only if its not paid by the seller.
Eish I made the same mistake! Please may I ask, if I'm importing something like a smartphone will they charge me a crazy amount of money (over R500)? And after I pay that amount will they then deliver the order to my door?
Door delivery will depend on the courier the seller used, if post office then you will have to go collect. Custom fees depends on the value of the item
@@Directorvhim Thanks alot for the info! One last question plz so that I can save up: I bought a R3000 used phone on eBay and paid R612 for shipping using eBay standard international shipping. So do you think that they will possibly charge me below R1000 for customs fees ? They can't charge me more than R1000 its unfair
@@venator7889 You should pay less, Scroll through the sellers description, there's a section which should states weather you will pay extra fees on arrival or not. Even if you will pay it should be less, not 1000
I've been trying to purchase used camera, new gaming laptop and a Iphone unlocked even though the prices are quite cheap, but I'm worried about the customs fee on these items
I want to buy on eBay and its my first time. Is it possible to get scammed on eBay? If yes, what are the precautions to avoid that? Thank you in advance!
Yes, shipping can even be 5x more expensive than the item depending on where you are, weight and other factors, also don't forget to put custom duties into consideration

Good Day. On ebay on the phone I want to purchase there is a import fee that pay on ebay on checkout.
So since I pay the import fee on ebay will I get a custom fee again when it arrives to south Africa?
Yes, there's chance that you will still pay for custom fees. Chances are very high.
Import fee re different from custom fee
@@Directorvhim thank you for your response will it be more dan R500? Estimation.
@@Tali_mudae that will depend on the item value
Thanks for this video. Very helpful🔥
i just paid triple the price of the items 😮😮😮. Ridiculous. Miss me with this buying from overseas BS.
One more question, did they require an import permit since most items on eBay are used goods?
No permit or identification required as long as you used your actual name during the purchase
Okay 👌🏼 thanks 🙏🏼 man I appreciate what u do with ur channel very helpful

Yes, it's requested.

I'm trying to get an idea of what % of the value of the item purchased overseas do they charge for customs
Most things I wanna buy are from usa sellers and I can't,it says something bout shipping restrictions and it's so irritating
If it's a prohibited item then it's a problem
I'm glad I watched this thank you
You are welcome 😊

Do you have any advice for me when it comes to bidding on eBay

Where do I collect my item from eBay I'm in Cape Town South Africa?.
It depends on where the seller shipped to, can be DHL, post office but you will be notify when it's in the country.
hi, brother i have been trying to purchase an ECU but it fails i have tried many options but still
What's the reason for the rejection
@@Directorvhim they said "please your payment Details or use a different payment option" i have been checking and trying the options but no win
@@el-gibbortv3507 they should provide a valid reason because I only know that batteries are prohibited but in this case ECU isn't one
i was buying a car computer box set
Last I paid for something international PayPal charged me close to R100
Yes, PayPal charges for their services
Hello I made a purchase on ebay,my package is at fedex since 18 of July my delivery date being saying pending and I payed the import duties but they still telling me they want proof of payment.
I think you will have to contact FedEx, maybe your payment isn't cleared
I don’t understand this is my first time buying on eBay,cleared how?
If the item is received at FedEx and you paid then you will have to contact FedEx to find out what the issue is, might be a delay
Hey man hope you are well. What would it cost me to bring in shoe bought off ebay in the UK. The parcel is usually around 2kgs

Custom fees depends on the value of the item
@@Directorvhim Oh for an e.g on a customs fee amount: How much did they charge you for your R2100 camera lens for customs fees?
If you purchased a cellphone it should be less than R500.
I can't really remember how much I paid, I am always buying and paying 😂

Hi, hope you are good, did you have to check with the seller if they ship to South Africa?
Yes, sometimes they don't specify it so it's best you ask
I've been trying to purchase used camera, new gaming laptop and a Iphone unlocked even though the prices are quite cheap, but I'm worried about the customs fee on these items
Unfortunately for that you can't get away,,
You will definitely pay custom fees and I doubt if they will be cheap

Can i trust ebay im from south africa ..it says the item is international shipping
It’s safe, international shipping means they can ship to you as well
U say u still smile but u not smiling bro 🤷🏼♂️
I am smiling within 😃
Hi. Thank u for this vlog. If i purchase my laptop on eBay, can I receive it in South Africa, western cape
Yes, you can receive it anywhere as long as you provide the exact address
How much did you pay for the customs
is it normal for the shipping price to be more expensive then the product? it's my first time on ebay and the shipping prices are overwhelming
Yes, shipping can even be 5x more expensive than the item depending on where you are, weight and other factors, also don't forget to put custom duties into consideration
So how much did the customs cost you on that lens?
I can't recall but it was around R500-R800
how many items per year can you import to south africa?
I am really not sure of the specific figure but I have done more than 10 payments in a year
@@Directorvhim thanks Boss
@@sigmahabits7908 you are welcome 🙏
Is it the same here in Namibia.
Quite possible
im trying to buy a figure, where did you pay and can you pay with debit?
Not so long,
You will need a visa card
I have just order the same len on ebay . Kindly assist me with the amount they charged you
May I know the cost of the lens and the estimated delivery date
@@Directorvhim 100 Usd Estimated time of delivery August 27th
That's a small amount, you might skip custom duties or pay a little to get the lens
@@Directorvhim thank you this is helpful
How much is costum
🤣🤣
how much did you pay?
I believe was 12% the cost
How long did it take to arrive?
Duration was about 3-4weeks(standard shipping)
Let’s say I order an iphone xr, will it take 3-4 weeks?
@@fanasithole5437 Shipping duration differs, item can arrive even in 3days depending on the shipping method used.
Ask the seller for more information and normally estimated delivery dates are listed on every item.
Wasted time enough, you supposed to talk mainly points
Alright, opinion noted
I bought an item from UK I tracked it it's at jhb INT MAIL centre hub the delivery was supposed to be 1 week before even now i haven't got it and they haven't sent me any email notifying me anything.
I stay in johannesburg is it possible for me to collect it my self
I doubt if they will give it to you at the hub, I think you should be a little bit more patient. Sometimes the estimated date isn't accurate
@@Directorvhim thanks for replying
I will try wait
Maybe it overlaps with how many weeks
@@nkosingiphilemabaso8592 Give it until month end
@@nkosingiphilemabaso8592 did you receive your package yet?
