Luckily for me all of those $1k+ ebay overseas transactions have gone off with no problems and no warranty follow up problems - now that would be a headache - but, we know all that stuff going into the purchase. I scrutinize the fine print in any ebay purchase with a critical eye - and these guys 'help' the customer with any GST import issues by undervaluing the cost of the item on the customs documentation.

I've found these type of purchases to be nerve-wracking affairs.
