I have a problemo, I ordered a Tag watch from ebay from the States, value of the watch $1,000.00..due to the outrageous duties charged here I asked the seller if he could mark the package for a lower amount, he agreed and marked it up for $200.00 The package was shipped with DHL. Customs here must have smelt a rat as they opened the package and are now asking for proof of payment which of course I can not provide for $200.00
Is there any genuine advice on what to do? I am happy at this point to have it sent back and drawer a line but would they accept that? Also the seller is panicking a little as he thinks he may land in trouble now?

Hi Guys,

Cheers for any good advice.
