    Buying from ebay UK

    I am considering buying euro bumpers through ebay uk,and am wondering if anyone has ever done something similar. I am aware that the shipping will not be cheap, but I am concerned about the currency conversion. When googling it, I could not find anything on it. If anyone has any advice or anything I know, please share it.
    Thank You

      I buy e30 parts from Europe all the time, check to see if the person selling wants Euros or British pounds. and the link the guy posted above me is the best currency converter in my opinion.

              yea, alot of ppl wont ship. however there are a couple of junk yards that do. I picked up my complete headlight washing kit for $260 from a euro yard including shipping.

                if you look at the listing from the US website (just copy and paste the listing #) it will show you the currency conversion including shipping.

                I've bought stuff from ebay.de - just gotta ask if they will ship stateside. Usually you'll get a reply right away, or they'll simply ignore you if they don't.

                  I hate it so much when sellers wont even reply to tell you they wont ship here, it's such an ass move.
