Buying from Germany (Ebay)

[vwthunder]

Has anyone had any luck with buying things out of Germany.

Seems most sellers wont ship outside Gremany or Europe. Anyone have any contacts or is there a 3rd party that can come into play

Looking at getting some big items, guessing it will be too hard, seats, spoiler etc


Tell me your ideas and experences.

It's worth sending a message to a seller and asking them, most Germans can speak English i've found. I bought a set of wheels off eBay.de when i lived in the UK, and nearly got a set sent to Australia but lost the auction. Both of them hadn't listed them as willing to post worldwide.

Also i've bought a lot of stuff from ARZ Tuning in Germany, they were really good to deal with and most thing arrived within a week.

Thanks I have asked them, I have seen 2 Polo Cup Edition bumpers come up in the past and they said no. Just found another one and they said no also

Lots of nice Recaros that come up too

My sister lives in Germany. I could ask her whether she'd be comfortable on-sending something for you, but she's only a little ballerina so I don't know how she'd go carrying a seat!

Really, in saying that, I dont know how much it would be to post a Cup Bumper lol, im guessing a crap load

Wasn't there a member who recently offered up his services as a German resident.

It's not easy, and eBay.de requires a paypal account, so often the seller will just lie and say they have one.

I have been using a VW dealership contact in Germany for the MK6 LED tails. PM me & i'll send you his email addy. Not sure if he does aftermarket but you could ask him.

When I lived in the UK I used to get stuff sent backwards and forwards using this shipping company,

Paketversand ab

Might be of some use once you sort out how to purchase the stuff you want.

Prices were always good.

Hope it might help.

Thanks, turns out a Bumper is $$$ to post as the size of it. Its not just calculated on weight, it seems to go on volume too

900 Euro to post one lol
