Well i had been looking for some good deals on ipad and i got it on ebay.Also the 10% coupon was something that would have brought it cheaper in my hand.
But than a message on top extra government charges might apply.

Hence i let the deal get out of my hand.Now i plan to buy printer and other goods.And i am able to find deals cheaper by 200-300 from local market from reputed dealer.But than again same message popping up as seller as from neighbourring state or from district of solapr or so.

So again wanted to ask.Do one have paid octroi or charges if one get stuff from ebay.

I want straight answer as i know most say to under invoice it or say to mark it as gift.But most reputed dealers doesnt show any concerns for such issues.

Rates applicable?

Also do they charge according to original bill invoice.Or seperate invoice which is most of the time underquoted.Or price on the box?
 
most of the time courier guys do it for u and I reckon it is according to the invoice price.. atleast i had to pay in Pune according to it..
 
Have ordered printer ml 1676.Lets see how much octroi am i charged if i go at pre discount rates it will still be cheaper than local market price by 120 buks.Lets see now what happens.Fingers crossed.
 
Okay i got the product today..Octroi was as expected 5.5 percent.Hence 256 on 4650 rate.

But now blue dart charged further 100 rupes plus 12.5 percent service tax as octroi handling charge .So total had to pay 368 buks for 4650.

So in all just 15 rupees cheaper than lamington.But ofcourse transportation trouble were taken care by the dealer.Dealer was from indore.
