    Make sure that whatever you want to order from them, that they have it in stock! Just because it's up on the eBay website, doesn't make it so.

    I learned this lesson myself a few months ago and lost out substantially on the Paypal refund they issues, due to currency conversion. To be fair though, they were very, very quick with the refund once they discovered they had no stock.

    for your info the way things are at the moment with exchange rates, it's actually cheaper to buy in the US than in hong kong.

    for example, i'm looking to buy a sigma 24mm f1.8 at the moment. after exchange it comes to 400 euros in europe, 250 euros in hong kong and only 205 in the US

    shop around guys but the US is the bargain place at the moment

    You are nearly 100% guarenteed to get hit for duty and vat from the US. That would also include postage. If it's over $100 approx you are in grave danger.
