I am also in Europe and i can confirm what
@The red spirit said earlier - you can buy with normal shipping that takes 60-120 days to be delivered.
Or if you are in a hurry you could order with express shipment - like DHL that will cost you sometimes more than the merchandise itself.
OR another eBay classic, where sellers basically swap prices of shipping with product price. It looks like the same total price, but if shit goes south and seller scams you, it ends up being a bigger hole in your pocket if you need to make return. Also EU raised import tax or something like that recently, so now basically everything outside of it gets extra taxed. Or maybe it's just my country like that. I remember buying a book from Amazon and it was US seller, taxes + shipping + perhaps customs made it cost a lot more than I expected. I don't think that EU has anything like Amazon prime or it is very limited and in Lithuania even local parcels can magically take 3 weeks to go to another city sometiems, because post service is overloaded or is waiting for a whole truck to fill up. Chinese shops like two Alis often just skirt around some laws and declare value of parcel as zero EUR to avoid tax, rarely it's checked if that's actually true and chea Chinese shipping is cheap, because it waits for transport to fill up and they don't hurry at all, perhaps do some financial trickery too. I have seen my one shipment go all around China, then to random places in Europe until it finally arrived to Lithuanian distribution center. It's not becaswue shipping itself is slow, it's this shuffling of parcels to make it financially work out takes time. Besides that Lithuanian customs are sloppy and lazy, so they don't care to do things fast and our post service are extreme cheapskates and if they weren't liek that, they would have already went under, but we need it, so it's on life support essentially. Recently some companies like Omniva, DPD came up with idea of getting rid of offices and just delivering parcels to lockable metal cabinets. They put them near shops or other popular locations and you basically pick up your shit in a week at any time you want. It makes service cheaper and very convenient, because "old post" had huge queues, limited open time and everyone flooding them after work and on top of that they always seem understaffed deu to their nonexistent budget.
