Uk based item and charged VAT?

Ok here's a genuine question for our experts. I've purchased an item which is about to be returned , from a seller who's profile says Location China, home page says USA warehouse. The seller has issued a return label,,,,to Amazon location about 25 miles from my home in central Scotland. My question is, why have i been charged VAT, on an item originating in the UK? I've checked, and this item is from Amazon stock, not from the sellers country nor personal inventory.

If item OR seller are non UK, you pay VAT.
