I had a friend have that problem ordering something from ebay..

The winning bid was low like $20 , but the item was worth a few hundred , and they wanted to charge them $50 in duty fee's.

Eventually they managed to get their money back.(after first having to pay it )

Now when i ship items from the states , i get them to write EBAY-PURCHASE on the customs declaration and make up a low price
