So i sent it back to appeal, with the invoice and numbers and stuff, 2 weeks later i got it back and had to pay nothing....Now why did i go from paying something to paying nothing?....If we all appeal it will they come back "free"?....

I had a $10 item shipped USPS, Can customs opened it, appraised it at $120. What THEY figured it should be worth. It was a couple computer lights, cold cathode tubes. Well, had to pay taxes and such. I sent them printout's of all the Ebay info, Paypal reciepts and such of actual value paid. They told me, "I didn't sent the right info, Sorry" So our beloved Govt screwed me again.....
