    Guys I need to replace the AC Compressor of my car. The problem is, I need to import it from Europe.

    I just came across a listing where they have included Customs clearance fees along with shipping.

    Digging through eBay help, I just found out they have this thing called "Global Shipping Program" where eBay is handling the shipping, and they take care of customs clearances themselves. Buyer has to pay the customs charges upfront.

    Has anyone here brought down an item through this facility?
    Will there be any hidden charges?
    after paying customs fees to eBay, if it later turns out that I have to go to the post office and pay customs fees agin it'll be a total waste.

    This is the program that I'm talking about: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/...d/international-purchases-postage-buy?id=4057

    first make sure is it genuine OEM not aftermarket.
    most ac compressors are interchangeable, so you can try compatible Japanese compressor for reasonable price

    Just a suggestion. So far I know there are so many interchangeable/similar Aftermarket Air compressors will support. If you see your A. Compressor you will find the original Manufacturer. Mostly it should b Denso Japan Made which is available widely.
