I have successfully bid for and bought a ladies wedding ring and diamond earrings on Catawiki. Both arrived promptly from an EEU country, but were smaller in size than I had thought. Never the less both items were of good quality and otherwise matched the description.The lesson I learned is that I will not bid on similar items, unless I know the size, as a close up photo can be unintentionally misleading. For example, as I found out, a .46ct diamond is very small, but it looked big in the photograph. I also successfully bid 400 Euros for a 6.25ct Ruby and diamond ring to be delivered to me in Spain from the seller in Taiwan, but it ended up costing me some 709 €. The ring had to go through Spanish customs and that caused a lot of delay.DHL were slow at providing me with the details that the Spanish customs required, some of which I had to send to DHL twice. There were also VAT charges of 107 € and import charges of 12.50 €, and DHL charged 50 € for clearing the ring through customs. Delivery from Taiwan was 100 € and buyers protection was 39 € . Total some 709 € . My bid was accepted on the 26th of December and it was eventually delivered on the 17th of January. In the future I will only buy from an EEU seller, as with the 300 € extra in charges, I could have bought a more expensive ring. Lesson learned ! That apart, the ring was all I expected it to be and my wife was delighted with it. It came in an nice box. The seller was excellent and I would deal with them again.
