Audio Buying headphones from ebay.

[Brendon]

What are the risks about buying from ebay(US) ? Do we have to pay custom duties ? Anybody who has bought anything from ebay (US) please leave your feedback.

Just have a look at this - Shipping cost to India is just $16. And this is a reputed seller. eBay: KOSS PRO-3AA COLLAPSIBLE STUDIO HEADPHONES NEW (item 280090234132 end time Mar-12-07 00:40:04 PDT)

Amaresh just ordered a pair from ebay .. Why don't you get in touch with him ?

Thanks a lot. I will PM Amaresh.

Hey, I replied back to your PM. This is the set I ordered eBay: SENNHEISER PC-150 PC150 PC Gaming Headset Headphones (item 270093230086 end time Feb-24-07 19:52:37 PST)

It cost me $63 inclusive of shipping, which is approx Rs 2800. I'd say that's a steal when compared to the price its selling on Ebay.in (eBay India: SENNHEISER PC150 GAMING SET PC 150 BRAND NEW (item 160094413258 end time 15-Mar-2007 14:38:00 IST))

I would suggest buying your headphones from the fellow I bought (portablevolume) as he insures your package for $1 extra.

^^ does amazon.com ship electronics to india, i want the grado SR-60 but cant get them from anywhere other than US

 

[Amaresh]

Nope, they dont. Only books and dvds AFAIK.

There's a 10% chance that customs will screen your package, if they do, get ready to pay 20% on customs, at least on the headphones. That's what I had to pay on my first pair of Plantronics A90.
