How to buy from eBay in Sri Lanka
Yes. eBay ships to Sri Lanka itself, but freight and import duty are billed separately. Transit is 12-16 days after dispatch from our United States warehouse. No delivered order on this route yet: your quote adds item price, freight by weight, duty and tax into one LKR total before you pay.
