Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

in the auction he says

- Item will be sent as gift to minimize custom duties, VAT and import tax exposure. It is buyer’s responsibility to pay for customs duties, VAT and import tax if applicable.

so there is a chance you wont be charged

The gift marking doesn't make it less likely to get stopped.
