    You can sometimes get good value, but there are a few things you
    should be aware of. More often than not, refurbished cameras are
    US or Asian models. Most manufacturers won't entertain warranty
    claims for a camera sold in a a different region. Some eBay sellers
    will offer a warranty, but you can't be sure they will honour it if
    you run into problems. Shipping cameras to/from countries outside the
    EU for warranty repairs could be very messy. Cameras from
    other regions may come with a manual in a foreign language
    and the charger may have the wrong power plug.
    What about buying off ebay Hong Kong sellers?

    Buying from Hong Kong and from mainland China is
    no problem if you are buying cheaper items like filters
    and memory cards. You are very likely to end up paying
    VAT/duty on more expensive items like DSLRs.
