I bought the item on E-bay and for the first time I ran into the fact, not knowing it, that I had to pay customs clearance fees in order to receive the product. This doesn’t happen with the other companies, and if it does happen it is literally written out, something that is missing on the E-bay site. In the end, my purchase cost me a full 85.85 euros, customs clearance fees, otherwise the package would have stayed in customs. Also, to be clear, the seller said it was not his problem and that if I didn’t pay I would lose the money for the purchase too. In the end, I can assure you that similar products are sold in Italy and they only have the cost of the product. For the community, E-Bay said, despite all the written justifications, that it could not act with the A-to-Z guarantee and therefore I filed an appeal complaint, at least to be able to recover the customs clearance expense. Finally, I can assure you that I will never buy from the E-Bay site again because there is little transparency and a lot of deception, and when problems arise there is no way to be right.
