Hello,Don’t you think the shipping costs shown by eBay in listings are unrealistic?I bought a product from a seller in China and the listing shows shipping costs of USD 53.50 from FedEx International Economy, which I already paid when buying through eBay.I know that VAT has to be paid for import to Spain (although eBay doesn’t indicate anything about this aspect and it should). What I don’t understand is that FedEx sends me an invoice that includes, apart from customs VAT, EUR 52 + VAT in administrative and inspection fees. Administrative fees? Shouldn’t that already be included when requesting the shipment? So what did the seller pay FedEx?Why can’t eBay show shipping costs that better match reality? I suppose I’m not the only one this has happened to. In fact it must be so common that we should demand that eBay adjust the shipping cost information taking these aspects into account. Because if they’re able to show those EUR 52 for international shipping... they should also be able to take these other “administrative fees” into account. We’re not talking about a marginal error, but about it costing twice what they indicate (taxes aside).Regards.
