Taxes and Duty on Ebay items
I'm looking at buying a camera lens on Ebay from the US. They want $30 US for shipping which IMO is a complete rip off for something that might weigh a pound, but anyway it also says that buyer would be responsible for any duty, taxes, etc. For the shipping method it says "Standard Int'l Flat Rate Shipping". Would I get a second bill in the mail for these charges or would I have to go to the post office and pay? Or is it just a disclaimer that it might happen? Any idea what those charges would be on a $150 lens?
