I'm buying a IC charging microchip for my iPhone from eBay. It costs only 10.75$ but since pay-pal doesn't work with Lebanese CCs i decided to use Iship. They seemed cheap compared to other sites offering the same thing with 6.5$ shipping fees for 0.5kg and only 10% of product value for purchasing it with their pay-pal account. You pay nothing for registering and they provide a US shipping address. I created an account and clicked on the buy for me tab, entered all the required info like site, item name price and weight and then placed my order. After few minutes, they called me asking me if i want to do an online payment or OMT transfer before they process the request. I payed online and it now says payed.
My questions are:
1. anyone used iShip previously and what is your feedback?
2.My ebay account doesn't show anything in the list of purchased items. Do they buy it using my account or theirs ?
3. Today i searched for the item on ebay too find out its 60$ while it was only 10.75 the day I asked them to buy it. What will they charge me.
4. How much do you think i'll pay for customs ?
