I bought video games for a total of $8.50 and with the payment fees on eBay the total came to $10.37.When the package arrived I had to pay another €6.12 and on the parcel it says VAT PAID IOSS + a code.It had been years since I last bought anything from Japan and I had never had to pay customs duties, not even for larger purchases.Was it right for them to charge me? What is the spending limit for packages exempt from customs duties, or with what kind of shipping can you avoid them?
