I purchased an auction item with buy it now and assumed the global shipping import fees would be calculated and added at checkout but after I paid I see that they have not been added. I contacted the seller but she doesn't know what to suggest. How do I get them added to the sale so I can pay them before the item is shipped?

the import fees did not show at the time I clicked buy it now. It showed as zero because it was an auction with buy it now so rather than bidding I bought it but the total was well above the threshold and it is being sold with the global shipping program. I thought it would just be calculated at checkout since the total was unknown until the auction ended either with buy it now or a bid(s) but after I paid it showed no sign of it in the total amount. I didn't notice until after I paid. The seller has no idea about what to do. All she knows is what it will cost her to ship to the US hub.

item cost was 150 US import costs showed as 0.00 because final cost was yet to be determined I assume and was advertised as being shipped through global shipping program.

There are times when there are no import charges added on so I would just assume that none are due or that they were included in with the international shipping cost. I wouldn't worry about it as there is nothing that you can do at this point.

I guess that is the best advice, although I didn't notice any extra charge in paypal to pitney bowes other than what was stated for shipping, it seems there is nothing else I can do about it.
I will check my paypal again for any additional charges, but beyond that?
