For the n800, I couldn't find any us shop willing to send it overseas. The few that did charged so much for shipping that it wasn't convenient, so the only way to get one was ebay.
If the seller sends via usps it's more likely than the package will slip through customs, if they use a courier it's assured you'll to pay customs fees and VAT, because otherwise they (upd/dhl) wouldn't get to bill you their extortionate fees.
