Ebay seller - advice on 7D purchase.

personally I'd prefer to buy from somewhere like Digital-Rev if buying from HK. Add on import duty, VAT and a handling fee and it all adds up. Digital-Rev can pay the vat for you for a seamless transaction.

Digital Rev is £ 1062 for body & grip (£ 1250 inc. VAT + carriage)

£ 1279 all in.

I'd expect this to be about the same from the other place once taxes and duties have been paid.
 
I think they are Taiwanese, do a google. But i'd be tempted to pay a bit more for piece of mind maybe Kesro can do you a deal on camera and grip.

Anyway it does seem like a grey import.

You will likely get hit, you will then end up paying lots more - maybe even more than a UK model certainly close.

Thanks boys, seems like it was a little too good to be true. RTS, I missed the bit you quoted! Thanks. :)
 
Sorry, forgot, whats/who is Kerso? I found the ebay shop, no 7D listed.

Send him a PM for an up to date price list to your email address!
 
Oh right, (embarrassed person alert) I didnt know. ill pm him as suggested.
 
you wont pay import duty on that, digital cameras dont qualify, but you will pay VAT!! i just imported a 500d from america
 
Digital-Rev first class service, cant fault em. :thumbs:
 
I would stick with Kerso,safe as houses.:):thumbs:
 
for such an item i would try a UK vendor first like kerso but i have had experience with onestopdigital and they pay the vat if you do get stung, bought a few primes form them and didn't get hit at all, BUT more can go wrong with a camera than a lens so I would stay in the UK just to save £100 or so
 
Thanks all, have been in touch with Kerso, it now requires me to think about the extra and make a decision. Thank you all for pointing Kerso out to me too. :)
 
One more for Kerso! He is a member here, I have dealt with him many times, ne'er a bad word to be said.

Dunc
