Q. If my mate goes to the US and brings me a new marker back in his suit case, what are the chances of getting screwed. Not for having and apparent gun in his case, but by C+E
A. he took it over with him to play will on vacation
There is no law saying you cant bring a marker through customs. If they wanted to get funny though I suppose they could ask you to prove you bought it here. I didnt have a problem taking and bringing my gear throughQ. If my mate goes to the US and brings me a new marker back in his suit case, what are the chances of getting screwed.

I tried emailing lots of potential US sellers asking if they would post to the UK and asuring them that I was not trying to scam them. Some never replied, some say no due to the ebay selling and banned export rules but a few were willing to sell as long as they had the money first. Most important is to use ebay Emails to make sure you have a backup plan that they except breaking the rulesThink you will find that once you press the button to buy EBay WONT allow you to complete the transaction UNLESS the seller has specified in his postage instructions that he will ship to the UK. Then he wont be able to do that as like Nobby said, they are not allowed to sell to the UK.
You could try emailinghim direct and buying but then you have no comeback if your item goes missing.
Its easy this buying from the States isnt it???

I did buy loads of markers from the US when I came back into paintball. It just all seems too much hassle now though to save a few quid

I actually talk to some Old skool paintball guys in the US almost everyday, and although they seem very nice I have never asked the favour to send me anthing. The pond is a bit to big to croos and punch them on the nose if something goes wrong...LOLThere is an easier way.....
Just make some friends in the US!!!!

You must admit that there are some things that are just to dam hard to get over here though. I have an old skool DM3, and any chance to get parts is an opportunity if I have the money. Why have an old marker? well it does the trick and I don't play to much, as I have to pay for me + my lad. ! good day with my lad is worth a lifetime of crap ones
