Theres no charges if its under $1000

Customs charges are payable on items costing $1000 and over.

It is not a good idea to buy electronic goods from overseas - if there is anything wrong with the player you will be required to return it to the seller by trackable post (which will cost a fair bit) before receiving a refund from PayPal.

Manufacturers warranties do not apply to goods sold on eBay unless the seller is an authorised dealer or reseller.

Much safer to pay a bit extra and purchase from a real local store where you get a real warranty and have a real place to return to in case of any problems.
