Customs duty on vintage and second-hand items, why? | eBay Coffee

Good morning everyone!But why are private individuals now forced to pay customs duties on second-hand vintage items? It seems insane to me! How am I supposed to import used items sold by people who deal in old stuff and do NOT sell in bulk? I’d like to know if there’s a way not to have to pay customs on this kind of stuff. I’m a longtime eBay user, I’ve been here since 2002 and I’ve always only used this platform to buy vintage and second-hand items for my collections, leaving everything else to purchases in physical stores. I’ve seen that eBay has lost its original function as an online second-hand marketplace. I’m sorry, but if things keep going like this I’ll be forced to give up eBay!
