Final price higher than what I offered?

Im completely confused over how offers work when buying. 

 

I sent an offer for one item for £105 exactly. 

 

Delivery was 2.85, which I had taken into account already. So expecting to pay 107.85. 

 

However the offer was accepted and I have been charged 109.26.... Where has the extra almost £2 come from? Frustratingly on ebays system it only shows me a total with no breakdown of how they arrived at 109.26.... 

 

It even says I paid £104.21 for the item, including £3.92 for Buyer Protection, plus 2.85 delivery. That comes to 107.06. Then under that it just has Total : 109.26

 

There is no mention of VAT etc, and if it is VAT it should be included in the price and at least viewable on the order details. 

 

Why is it so hard to get concrete numbers with ebay? Seems whatever you do they dont want people knowing the actual amounts they will pay or sell things for. Ridiculous system.

That's very odd if your offer was £105.00 why were you only charged £104.21 for the item itself?

 

Something literally doesn't add-up.

Cacas vendit.

That figure makes no sense either.  So they're saying that item price before BPF was £100.29.  But the BPF on an item price of £100.29 would be £4.76 (4% of £100.29 + 75p).
