I'm not sure what you mean. This is Ebay, who else am I buying from?

Customs can't just decide to put whatever price they want on the item. If the declared price is 10% or 95% discounted, it still has a price and it's not their business to investigate otherwise. Obviously if your trying to smuggle stuff in (drugs etc), they should check the package, but if you get a great deal from a retail store let alone Ebay you don't expect to get taxed on the MSRP.
