@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.

@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.

I 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.

I just got mine to delivered to germany without visiting any customs office or paying any tax.. i don't know why, but it's here now, and I'm very happy it worked so well :) German customs seems to be not very straight on this product :D Picture from the packet i got: image description 20160905_001.jpg

Thanks for sharing! This is a good reference. Mine is at German customs. I still have a very small hope to receive it. I'll report my story if I know more. Wishing you lots of fun with yours!!!

Do you mean 21.60 € for tax (vat)?

JoHe ( 2016-10-06 18:50:44 +0200 )edit

@JoHe yes, I had to pay VAT.

@Xeon you are probably based in India. I think here we are discussing about the people ordering from abroad

This is very interesting. I also thought that I misread or misunderstood something, because for the 1st time I also read an 'or' and after rejection I saw that it was an 'and', despite that I clearly do remember it was really an 'or'. I was also rejected, even after I did send all the data again. They even locked the amount on my card (but it seems it is just locked and not taken, I hope, it will be released so I can try again through PayPal maybe). I do not know why they are doing this, hopefully they are not hunting to naive europeans' credit datas...

they reject credit card. they do not have paypal. then why the hell are there these options??? is this correct to act as if they would accept it and then reject everything and not even write an email like 'oops I forgot I do not accept it'? now do they want to sell it or not? if I did not know, they are indian, I had thought, they are hungarian... :)

Artemys ( 2016-08-08 07:52:59 +0200 )edit

For a working Transaktion you need a copy vor a photo Form your cardfrontside with hidden expiary date, your eBay ID and the latest list oft transactions with your creditcard Form the Bank. Also dont forget your pisapay ID. That should work. It did in my case. I was angry too after the first rejection.

believe me I did the way they asked. I did send all the data, the photo and the last month report from my credit card, and also the ID. still I was rejected. I cannot pay it again, they booked the amount from my card, I am not even sure, if I will get it back.

@TMavica where did you buy from to get it from HK ? and what country are you in? I see the sellers on ebay UK have started to come down in price but they're still shifty looking sellers with low scores and poor feedback and i ain't jumping thru hoops to buy from India when they don't accept paypal, copying statements and photocopying cards. . . . . wtf is all that about that's like going back 15 years when commerce sites used SSL ,. . . . . . lol

davekelly ( 2016-08-31 22:11:50 +0200 )edit

@davekelly At least one of the cheaper Indian sellers now accept paypal, so jumping through hoops is no longer necessary. Also oddly the one non price gouging paypal seller doesn't show up on the .co.uk(despite shipping to UK) whereas they do via .com ebay site. you may also want to refer to the spreadsheet linked in this post link text

btw I believe she meant shipped to HK,
