Invoice value incorrect

haraen13 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:12:06 GMT

Hello

I am trying to buy a motorbike bike screen from Italy. I am based in UK and need this to be delivered to UK.

I sent an offer to seller and he accepted.

Screen cost 127 euros

Shipping 40 euros

Total 167 euros.

The invoice came through as being 200 euros. When questioned, I was told to speak to ebay as it was ebay charging.

Please advise.

Many thanks

Import VAT?

Looks like --- if either the Buyer or Seller is using/or has initially had an account that was registered outside the UK site , then an additional 20% Import VAT and any other duty is charged on UK entry.
