@revk@toot.me.uk When you order the item, doesn't it usually say something in the seller's terms about the customer being responsible for import duties and fees? So you're rather buying a pig in a poke.

@edavies@functional.cafe so seller can sue me if I donβt pay. That will be fun.
What gets me is they donβt seem to state a legal basis for any of it even when challenged.
That suggests it is, in fact, a scam.
This is not new. They must know the legal basis if there is one.
FedEx once cited a law allowing Royal Mail to charge a fee. But FedEx is not Royal Mail. Why not quite the law allowing FedEx (or any courier) the right to charge a fee? Clearly because they have no such right.
