Hi there,
Has anybody bought stuff on Ebay - USA and had it shipped to Saudi, if so were there any import duties , other extra costs involved , did you have any issues.

Want to buy a piece of test equipment At $1500 and in the UK there is 20% tax plus £50 handling fee and 6% import duty, even on used goods.

I have used eBay lot many times. The stuff gets very long time to reach. But no import duty or taxes applied.

Hi There,
I was wondering if you are still using eBay in KSA?, I want to know, how long stuff from china takes on average to arrive to KSA? how do you pay for it? can you link paypal to Saudi banks?
any help would be appreciated

Haven't used ebay but as far as paypal goes, there is no linkage option to banks in this part of the world.  Only credit cards.
