    Buying from Ebay.
    I want to order an item from Ebay. The information says that the item has free shipping but they are not responsible for any kind of fees. Item is located to China and I´m living in the North Europe. What kind of fees can there be ?
    Thanks !

    They could be referring to import taxes or anything outside of their control.

    Those fees you refer to should be clearly stated on the EBay auction. If not, that is why you email the seller and specifically ask what those fees are. If they cannot tell you, why buy it?

    This is the best advice. There have been a lot of "too good to be true" scams originating in China lately.

    You really need to contact the seller for clarification of what type of fees could pop up.
