    I want to buy a good few MAC products off ebay which altogether is going to cost me 72 euro inclu. shipping from america.
    Im just ondering if I should buy all this together as its saves on postage or to buy it in little bits.
    Is there a high chance of getting caught by customs?

    Depends on what the seller puts down on the customs sheet. They might write 'Cosmetics - $5' and you'd be fine. If it's insured it's more likely to be looked at as you wouldn't insure something only worth a few quid.

    Have a look at this thread for more info

    To VAT, or not to VAT, that is the question?
