here they just wanted a screenshot of the purchase from ebay
so it could easily been fixed with
they can fake it but ask yourself if it's even worth it
I was an honest guy back then, so just took the bill
It's worth it
@sludge I thought about faking my proof of payment, but figured it wasnt worth 7€ i would have saved vs. 600€ potential fine for fraud
you can almost take for granted that they will write $20 on the box and not leave a receipt inside
ask them if unsure
I've never had an instance where that wasn't the case though
its not usualy worth the jailtime
The fees here are $50 +15% of (purchase + shipping) if (purchase + shipping) is over $40
so $400 becoms $510
15% without admin fee?
admin fee is $50

I thought it was bad with parcelforce's £9
I don't mind paying the tax
customs workers gotta get paid
it's the admin fee that makes lower value items not worth it
So for me undervaluing things that are under 400 is pointless anyway

Living in third would country must suck
BTW, me and another csg are meeting up in Taipei this week if anyone local wants to jump in
It would suck
isn't china technically thirdworld
gulag says its second world
@JHWH that's already began
By the original cold war-era definitions, first world = US and its allies
second world = USSR, China and their allies
third world = non-aligned and neutral countries
So countries like Switzerland, Finland and Sweden were considered third world
China is one of the few OG second world country left in fact
without any sort of government change
Us = first world
Kek
Lmaoing
the meanings have changed however, today first world is generally equated with developed country, and third world with developing country
china as a threshold country would still be second world though
WTF ARE YOU SAYING, FEDORA?
