    Well I need to order LOADS of stuff for my shed of a zip. Does anyone know if you have to pay import tax on ordering from them ? If so how much ?

    No it's in the EU so you don't pay any import tax.

    The only hidden cost is if you bank likes to charge for payments in euros which most do.

    Shouldn't be any hidden costs then. Although I haven't paid them through paypal before.

    Paypal is generally a bad idea when paying in euros as their exchange rate is terrible (Usually the worst you can get). Do a count before placing yourn order, you might be better using a debit/credit card and pay the bank fee over using the paypal exchange rate if it is for a few hundred pounds!

    I.e my bank charges me 50p per 100£ changed in euros whihc at the ends is way better than the paypal rate (they seems to make their own rate which are way off everything else!)
