Being charged VAT on purchase from private seller | Buying

I purchased a vintage calculator from a private UK eBay seller. eBay has charged me VAT on this purchase. I am also resident in the UK and I have never been charged VAT on local purchases before. Why is eBay charging me?. The seller is clearly listed as a private seller so presumably VAT registration does not apply.
