<p>[QUOTE="Jason Hoffpauir, post: 4600170, member: 67527"]I completely understand both sides of, no pun intended, the coin. You, as the seller, did everything right. It is not your fault about the custom fees. The buyer can NOT demand what he is asking, albeit he is frustrated and wants justice!!! Sorry got a little crazy there. The problem to me is the custom fees. Let me tell you a similar story; My wife's brother recently had a baby (he's name is George) and we decided to send him about 5-6 presents from America and sent them to Greece. Now when the package finally arrived the custom wanted $100 Euros just to take the package. I was like WHAT!!! </p><p><br /></p><p> This practice started about 4 years ago and I think it is high-way robbery. My wife stated that we won't be doing this anymore and we will just transfer money to our family in Greece via PayPal. Amazingly enough, my wife stated that was something our President Trump started. I don't think she is correct on this, as how can our President impose taxes on another sovereign nation. I personally think that the corruption in Greece is alarming and since Greece is slowly coming out of its 15-year recession people are just basically greedy. There is a lot of services that deals in Black money (a term commonly used in Greece to describe paying for Doctor's visits, car repair, medicine, dental services under the table). </p><p><br /></p><p> I just can not imagine having to pay for something sent to you as a gift or anything else for that matter. Greed is so prevalent it is getting out of hand. Sorry for what is happening to you and I feel your pain brother. I would initiate an E-bay claim or resolution to have a third-party monitor this ongoing dilemma. Peace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
