Importing a mobile phone bought on ebay
I'm just about to purchase a mobile phone on ebay.co.uk and then get it sent on to me here in Oz but was just wondering where I stand with customs. The phone is valued at about £100 but here in Oz (as they are a bit backward when it comes to mobile phones) it could be worth about £200.
Will I get stung by customs or does this fall into my personal allowance? Or am i worrying about nothing?
I'd appreciate any info on this.
Thanks D

Re: Importing a mobile phone bought on ebay
As you will doubtless have proof of the ebay purchase I doubt they could sting you for much, if anything at all.
