Hello everyone,
Currently I am living in Buenos Aires.
Here it is not so easy to buy stuff on Amazon and get it delivered to your door. The tax you have to pay to the Argentine authorities is that high, that it's not economical anymore to buy it cheaply online.Also the delivery of the goods is dodgy. Parcels don't always arrive.
If you want to sell things on eBay, and receive dollars in your PayPal account, it's a problem to transfer that money to an Argentinian bankaccount.
I was just wondering how these transactions work out in Uruguay.
Can you buy for example a smartphone on Amazon and get it delivered? I understand the Uruguayan prices for smartphones are pretty high, so do the authorities protect the market by charging an import duty?
Please let me know about your experiences.
Thanks for your tips and advise
