The taxes won't come into it as the bike will never be sent to you in all likelihood. What's the full address of the site?

Hi,

If its to good to be true it usually is
plus the postal service from a lot of these countries are so bad even though you get a number there's no tracking.
In all honesty you save hard to buy a nice bike not worth the possible grief if it disappears.
