Second Glance Fashions is pleased to offer our products and service worldwide. As an established and growing company, we must adhere however to the principles and laws regarding customs forms. We have had many requests recently to indicate sales as “gift” on the form. We sympathize with our international customers for the additional costs that you must bear, however we will not jeopardize our business for illegal or dishonest requests. Please don’t email or ask us to consider doing something unethical.
We understand that some sellers on eBay will do otherwise and put their company in jeopardy. That is why companies have a 98% failure rate! Second Glance Fashions intends to serve both our domestic and international customers with the highest quality product and best value and customer service, and to continue to for years to come. It is not worth it for us to jeopardize our existence by entertaining dishonest and illegal requests.
Here is a current quote from the eBay forum on “Best Practices for International Trade and High DSRs” written on Feb 28, 2008 by eBay.
“Represent the value of the item (closing price) accurately on customs forms. And don't mark an international item as a gift on customs forms. It's against the law.”
