I’ve been looking to buy a Thinkpad from Ebay. Compared to the refurbished market in India, the prices are really low, even after the addition of shipping costs.

For example, consider a Thinkpad X13 Gen 1 with i7-10510U/10610U (6c, 12t, I believe), 16GB onboard RAM and 512TB storage being sold for ₹12,000-₹18,000, plus ₹6,000 for shipping, versus paying ₹35,000-₹65,000 overall when buying from a refurbished laptop seller locally.

Are there addition expenses to pay - like for example, import duty? What other stuff should I take into consideration?

    yeah, there might be an import duty otherwise people would start buying cheap stuff from China. I haven’t bought anything from ebay since I don’t trust it.
