good evening all

discovered something interesting about eBay selling, possibly some of you may not be aware of. I'm sure some sellers have experienced Foreign buyers requesting falsification of price or listing as Gift on US customs form.

According to eBay, the seller must include the following text in the body of the auction:
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

eBay will only take action against the buyer if you have this in your auction text.

I cannot believe I just found out about this. It makes me wonder why eBay just doesn't include this on every auction page, or am I thinking too hard? LOL!
