I am actually surprised there is any costs because that's not sale and not sure how customs want to put any taxes on gifts.
As I understand this disagreement, this is it.
You should have thought about the consequences of your actions, like what winning the contest implies for you, before entering it.
If you paid for the item or not has little significance when it comes to pay import taxes.
If someone gifted you a Tesla car in a foreign country, you as the owner, would have to pay import taxes, tariffs, to your government based on the value of the item being imported, when it crosses the border. Y
That has nothing to do with the fact that you paid for it, or no. That would be the same if you drove the car yourself from a foreign country, and taking it home. You are free to leave it abroad too and never pay import taxes.
At some point, if you want to keep it at home, you'll have to register it officially with your government services. And this has nothing to do with the fact that you paid for it, or not.
You also need to understand that some people may be upset because of that. Now, you are unable to retrieve the item as there were 15 more people wanting it.
Given that, a neutral feedback stating "Trade with caution" doesn't seem inappropriate to me, since you are unaware of how custom works for your country.
There's no one to blame here really. Mistakes happen. This is how we learn.
I'm pretty sure that the next time you'll be looking to trade, you will keep this in mind : the value of the goods is declared on the custom forms, and you need to pay tax on the value of the item you import.
consequences of my actions ?
My actions was to ask Frank can i resell the art.
Did you even read whats all about or you just comment without reading ?
I were in talk with Frank why there is custom taxes on something free and so and is he available to cover them consider thats a giveaway on a free item and it should be totally free.
After he explain me and also customs agent explain me, i did close the thread after understanding whats going on
I never continued the conversation after Frank explain me and the customs agent.
I never requested/ask/forced or anything from Frank to pay even 1 cent for any shipping.
I made an auction saying that i cannot pick up the winning because i didn't had money to collect it.
It will cost Frank 0 cents if he wanted to reship it to the new owner with him covering the shipping costs which i stated on the thread.
So do you mind read before posting so you could understand where im coming from?
Cheers.
I already did "trading" (actually i bought something using MJ as escrow) and it all went more than well and easy.
And yes owlcatz is liar, spammer and racist.
His claims i ask Frank to pay for reshipping is lie.
His spam on my trust score is based on lie which is spam.
He is racist because he start attacking me because i didn't had money to collect my winnings which had nothing to do with him
Tell me which point isn't clear to you, so i could redirect you to his statements ? And you can double check who is the asshole on this thread.
Because you can't treat people like shit because they don't have money at the moment.
You can't treat people like shit and spread lies just because someone win an auction than you.
And you can't put your girlfriend TMAN to protect you from the truth.
*No matter it was not negative feedback in first place, why would he state someone should trade me with caution ?
In that time frame i stated that i didn't had money to collect my free winnings.
So his statements are based because i didn't had money to collect them ? Or just because i was talking with Frank about solution and learning about the customs shit?
Do you actually agree with that kind of attitude against people who ASKING how it is and how should be done ? And do you actually agree on that kind of attitude against person who admit he don't have money on the moment to collect his own free winnings ?
What i did wrong and to who ?
Is "asking" now days and negotiating with someone is something suspicious ?
Is not knowing now days is crime and you are not allowed to ask and negotiate ?
Jeez guys, we are bitcoin community and we should be friendly not cancer...
