Buying a power cord from France, import duty and taxes?

The seller is covering shipping and paypal fees.

Don't do it.

I'v boughten several knives from France and never had a problem. No import duties or fees or any hang ups in customs. And these were knives; easily determined a weapon (of all things) and it all went smoothly.

What the seller is proposing is what I did when I bought an amp from PartsConnexion in Canada. I sent it back for a modification and was told to mark it as such and when they sent it back they marked it "returned goods" and it went smoothly. No added costs of any sort.

It doesn't mean that things will go smoothly for you so think carefully.

All the best,

Thanks for all your comments.  And if I go through Paypal, then I should be protected if anything goes wrong, right?

Since your buying from Europe, which Id have no hesitations doing, does the Power cord your buying have a US plug on it ?  If your handy it will not be an issue of course changing it if needed - but if not ?  

Good Listening
