I bought mine from Lowpriceshoppee on Ebay.com. I got the re-listed PayPal-payable one, as I didn't want to be emailing my credit card info around the internet. I bit at the price of $92.50, but they seem to since have re-jacked the price up to $98.00
I bought it on November 10th, they shipped it on Nov 14th, it was registered in Mumbai on Nov 17th, the parcel landed in Finland on Nov 22nd, Customs Post reported having gotten their hands on it Nov 23rd, I paid the toll/VAT of ~EUR 26.xx on the morning of Nov 24th, the Post continued with some movements on the parcel on Nov 25th, it was registered in Helsinki on Nov 28th and I got it from my local post office as a "registered letter" on Nov 30th.
The beautiful Intex package was wrapped in an amount of bubble wrap in a heavily-taped envelope.
I lost maybe a day by not checking on NetPosti on Nov 23rd, as the Notice of Arrival of Customs-Declarable Parcel from the Customs Post had come there around noon that day; and maybe a few Euros by stupidly allowing PayPal to rob me with their own conversion rates instead of telling them to charge my Visa in the original USD price. Other than that everything went great.

I placed my order on 27/07/16. Followed by PayisaPay verification.
Obviously ebay is expecting for the verification mail to be posted from the e-mail address registered with your account. Which I didn't realize immediately because the automatic response received was alluding that to address was not valid. Finally the verification came on 30/07. It took about 38 hour (more than a day and a half).
I hope seller will ship promptly.
Update: I'm a happy owner. Yay!
Timeline in brief:
Total amount of taxes 30€ (VAT 21,1€ + customs declaration costs 8€ + payment commission 1,05€). The later two charged by SLO post.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
I ordered about a week ago, using a credit card ("PaisaPay"). This requires to send a photo of the credit card for additional verification. Although I sent this photo immediately, the payment was rejected 3 days later with the message "no verification documents received". Now I am trying a second time.
P.S.: I tried also to fax the verification doc. Unfortunately this wasn't successful. The number is always busy. Maybe it's not reachable from outside of India.
I suppose that you didn't read the Email from ebay.in thoroughly. They are requested scanned copy front of the credit card AND the latest credit card statement. Same was to me. For me it was seemed like copy front of the card OR latest card statement. But I was wrong and in three days my payment was rejected. Be careful in details!
Fedorka ( 2016-07-31 19:34:30 +0300 )editThanks, @Fedorka! There is indeed an AND. I ASSUMED one of the two should be enough. Unfortunately I am on vacation and can not provide the statement. Have to wait with my order until next week. :( At least I am not alone missing to read the "and" and don't have to feel too stupid... ;)

Chiming in with another success story for international shipping - mine to Malaysia where I was at. The summary is everything went smoothly, and almost everything was pleasant - the exception being paisapay whose practice of requiring emailed photos of credit cards/statements I was very uncomfortable with. Following the talk on this thread though I was able to get it right the first time - even though they took more than three days to approve my payment. Rough timeline follows:
6th Aug: purchased and paid. Credit card photo/statement prepared and sent on the same day
9th Aug: payment authorization finally came
10th Aug: my device is marked 'shipped' on ebay
18th Aug: attempted final delivery to my place failed (common occurance)
19th Aug: personally collected parcel from post office
The box wasn't in perfect condition but it was passable (edges a bit crumpled). The item got stuck for 2 days or so at the exchange, but eventually cleared fine without any input from me - all I needed to do was to collect it from the post office, something I'm fairly used to doing for stuff coming in from ebay.
I'll also add myself to the spreadsheet :)

I got my Intex delivered today to my office postbox in Berlin / Germany. Without VAT. Without customs. Without nothing. The item was declared like gift. Got absolutely new Intex Aqua Fish from eBay. Paid via Paypal. Not a singel problem after all.
Its really depends, in which part of Germany you live. Or i had luck... Maybe....
Here i have some advices to all German Sailfishermans, who was unlucky not to receive the Intex:

Everybody is waiting for the first one to have it delivered. I guess you will first see on twitter!
mosen ( 2016-07-30 16:39:23 +0300 )edit@Magog - I don't understand - could you clarify if this question is for Europeans / Americans who have tried to purchase from ebay.in? Else these brief customer reviews - ebay seller 1, ebay seller 2 and amazon.in seller - gives a good idea of the online buyers' experience, so far.
sifartech ( 2016-07-30 18:37:51 +0300 )editi purchased 2 phones from ebay.in, got the delivery on next day :)
amitpatel ( 2016-07-30 18:58:20 +0300 )edit@MJolla - I think you should convert your comment to an answer. The credit card copy and credit card summary is additional verification by ebay to ensure that you are not using somebody else's stolen card. Tip: If you sent it by email to ebay, delete that sent mail. If somebody hacks your email account, that info would be like a gold mine for them.
sifartech ( 2016-07-30 22:51:51 +0300 )editI hope you don't mind I edited the title a bit, I clicked in hopes to read your success story about getting the aqua fish to europe / america, since it was not in question form.
