Buying from german ebay
 

Theres an item i want on german ebay and the seller is happy to post.

I know with royal mail they stop tracking at the uk boarder but am i still covered with paypal etc if the item doesnt turn up? Ive never posted abroad.

ebay/paypal will still cover. I've bought lots from abroad and haven't had a problem (yet !!)

I buy plants from Germany quite often, not had many problems.

PayPal still covers the issue and raising a dispute is the same.

Same here. Get rare adidas trainers direct from German eBay and never even had them stopped coming into the county.

Hmm... Now its finding £140 for a rare part.

If it all goes wrong you could always contact the Polizei :D
