i brought a ps3 from eBay, now the seller is reputable and all that, he sent the item off now the thing is before he sent the item i told him to devalue the item to a reasonable amount so it avoid custom tax or that i will just have to pay a small amount of tax, now the item was purchased for $450 now the seller put as the down the value $39.99, this is far too low for a package that size, now can some please tell me if they base tax on the weight or the actual value of the item, also plz note i told the seller to package the item as a birthay present i.e wrapped upped and with a card, so the customs people will less likily look at it, this may help so its worth a try
this is getting me really worried that some customs officials will be knocking on my door with a summons for trying to fraud them
i have a excuse that the item was worth $399.99 but the seller mistakingly put down $39.99
so can someone please help?
