Interesting you should say that about Belgium....about three years ago I
started a trade with a fairly well know EC trader in Belgium and sent his
discs (17).  He claimed customs seized them, that he could not trade any
more, and that he could not send me anything in return for the 17 discs I
sent him.  He seemed flaky at the time and not very credible, and I just
didn't believe him, so I put him on my trade list as a bad trader.  I later
noticed him up and trading, but his site says he only trades with people
from Europe now.  I also noticed that his list contains the titles I sent
him, but of course that could be a coincidence...he could have gotten them
elsewhere after having them seized.

For those of you with more experience with Belgium customs, is this a likely
scenario?  And I imagine several of you have guessed exactly which EC trader
I am talking about...should I have believed him about the seizure?  Lastly,
what is the correct trading protocol here?  If your country seizes your
incoming discs, should you send the other fellow anything to complete the
trade?

I'm not really worried about this...this was all a long time ago in a galaxy
far away, but this thread got me wondering if I had judged this guy too
harshly.

Hi,

It seems than customs within the EU has different behaviour depending the
country you are.


I am in France and up to now I never had custom problem when trading
oversea. But I know someone "very active" in Belgium on one another trade
group that had some of his trade seized by custom back a year or so.


My 2cents on it.
