eBay or Amazon USA for sunglasses?

[Sai]

I need to buy fit over type sunglasses from USA. Both eBay and Amazon.com sell them. Where to buy?. Do I have to pay customs or other stuff if the shipping is free?. Pardon for my little knowledge. I've no experience in international purchases.

Amazon would be better, ebay may have some fakes, difficult to discern. Duty is ~28.85% according to the site I checked. you can use PPoBox, Aramex ShopnShip etc. to buy from Amazon.ebay: http://geb.ebay.in/ImportHubSearch?catId=79720&_df=force&_trksid=p2052196.l1438Any particular brand you are looking for? lenskart.com has a pretty wide collection. Might turn out cheaper than importing.

Check india sites too, nowadays the prices are pretty ok here with $ at 62....

I am looking for fit over type sunglasses to wear over my prescription glasses. Can't find one here in Mangalore or in reputed Indian online stores.

Right. Ordering through iShop International type services would be better as they give you the final price that you would pay and they take care of the rest.

Do you mean clip ons - clip type / magnetic type over normal eyeglasses? I have bought plenty of these from the US and can rustle up one for you if you are interested... show me the link of the exact type you need. Also I have had them shipped once from US online site to India (shipped from Hong Kong) and it reached me with no hassle, just took a looong time.

I am looking for something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Cocoons-Aviator-Polarized-Sunglasses-Mirror/dp/B004UOVU0Q/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1376492443&sr=8-22&keywords=fitover+sunglasses

Or this- http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Shield-Ultralight-Polarized-Sunglasses/dp/B0052ZS04Q/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1376492715&sr=8-35&keywords=clip+on+sunglasses
If any optical store in India sell this?. It would be easy for me to pickup when compared to the headache of importing one.

I have couple of the second link you pasted
http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Shield-Ultralight-Polarized-Sunglasses/dp/B0052ZS04Q/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1376492715&sr=8-35&keywords=clip+on+sunglasses
I had got them for 5$ each. I'll take a snap and post it when I get home.
I am currently using magnetic clip ons (see below) matched to my eyeglasses and I carry a spare set in case I break or lose what I am wearing - happened to me in the beach once...

Not heard of sunglasses india, but I use lenskart a lot. My daugher needs a change in prescription every 6 months and have bought so far about 6 pairs from them.
