    Hi, i recently bought a drone on ebay from a guy in spain. When i received it he was after having it shipped from china directly to me. I now have a letter saying i need to pay import duties. Now i understand if i bought it from china that i would have to pay it thats why i purchased it from spain to avoid this... Am i liable for the import duty because it came from china or should i look at it on the basis that i bought it from spain so shouldn't have to pay it?

    Can anyone advise on this please.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure, but you could forward the ebay page to customs telling them you were unaware, and at the same time report the seller in ebay. Ask for a refund of the duty fee.
