For sale is a Linhof 220 Camera that needs some TLC.
The good points:
1. The winding action is smooth and the shutter works properly.
2. The lens is clean, with a couple of tiny marks that will not have any significant impact on your images.
The areas that will need TLC:
1. The latch on the back is missing, making it impossible to close. You'll need to find or fabricate the latch, or use masking tape to keep the back firmly pressed against the body.
2. The bottom grip is missing, and the shutter is triggered by pulling the attached string.
3. The viewfinder is a bit hazy and needs cleaning, and the rangefinder needs adjustment.
If you have the skills and some patience, it could become a very nice press type camera. Or just buy it for the lens and helicoid to use on another camera.

Buying goods online coming from a non-European Union country
As soon as you buy a product from a non-EU country, then effectively you become an importer and become liable to Customs and Excise Duty as well as Value Added Tax (VAT) payments.
