Buying from E bay USA

I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out?

I want to bid for some thing on e bay but the seller won't post to the UK. Is anyone willing to take delivery and post the item on?

I would then re emburse you the postage plus something for your time and effort. How I would do this, I'm not sure! Can Paypal be used for this? I would be paying for the item with paypal so no worries about that.

The item is located in Fort Worth, I'm guessing thats Texas? But can be shipped anywhere in the US.

Thanks in advance

Well, its a new item so I guess they would have to add import taxes. So I forgot to add if anyone can help they would have to wrap it and send it as a christmas present then no import duty!

Or remove all labels and send it as second hand goods!!
 
Does it seem OK to you to ask someone for a favor and in the process ask them to break the law so you won't have to pay taxes?

I think its ok to ask? Not ok to expect?

In this country tax evasion is breaking the law. Tax avoidance is not. If I had a brother (or other relative) in the US he could buy me a present and send it with no tax added, thats tax avoidance no worries. Asking a tree buzzer to help is pushing the limits a bit I agree. If the item was for work, i.e. tools etc or if it was something I wanted to sell on for profit then that would be true "importing" and definatly illegal. That is not the case in this instance.

If you don't ask you don't get.

Thanks Treedr for your offer. The item has gone over my highest bid but is still a bargain. I'll watch it till it closes tomorrow and see waht happens, I might up my bid.
