Hi everyone ! I want some opinions of users who bought things like phones from amazon. I have never bought anything from amazon before, but now i want to buy a zenfone 2. It costs 200$ and i'm from ROMANIA . I would like to know if there will be additional taxes because i don't want to find myself buying 300$ for it.. or even more, or atleast if i would have to, i'd like to know before as i found nowhere anything about additional taxes and it says "Free shipping". As about shipping, i dont really care if it comes in 2 weeks or more, i just want it to be safe.

Do you have an amazon account? You can check taxes and shipping rates by adding it to your cart without checking out.

Unfortunately i can't buy it ( In my country probably ), when i proceed to checkout, after i provided the shipping address, it says that product can't be shipped to my address. From where can i buy it online ? Because in my country the 200$ Phone with 2gb costs like 400$. It's just my beautiful country, you'd need 2 salaries to buy it and everything is 2x more expensive than in the rest of the world.
NOTE : Romania

Eh, i was naive to think i'll be able to get such a beauty for just 200$. I am a little bit dissapointed now.
EDIT : Ah, now i see it ships electronics only in US. I guess there isn't any other shop from where i can buy it for under 250$, right ? ( I want the ze550ml )

try countries a little closer to you such as india, otherwise find a friend who is traveling overseas and have him bring one back for you.

What if i would buy a new one from ebay ? I found one at 230$ with free shipping. I'm worried about "International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges." Do you think i'll pay any other taxes for it ?

Unless its marked as a gift, you usually pay import taxes. But I am not familiar with Romania to be able to say that would be your case. But I have sold phones overseas and it was that way every time.

So just tell me what would I end up paying with all the taxes for it while the price is 230$?
NOTE : I think I will buy a oneplus one instead as they has their own site from where u can buy it and they ships to Romania too.
