Price change at checkout

[andiepe]

I have seen an item I want to buy but when I go to checkout the price increases, I’ve been shopping through eBay for years and this has never happened. The seller says it is British vat being added is this right?

[redwick1 · Accepted solution]

Yes that is correct it is Vat at 20%

It is happening to some buyers

I am not quite certain how it works but it seems to be that if the item is coming from a seller overseas not Vat registered or like it says below the item is in the Uk but the seller is not.

There used to be a £15 before any charges which has not gone.

From ebay policy

Starting 1 January 2021, eBay is required to collect VAT on certain orders delivered to UK addresses:

• Orders up to £135 sent from outside the UK
• Orders where the item is located in the UK, but the seller is not a UK seller

You'll see the VAT included in your order total at checkout, and you can view and download a tax invoice from the Order details page in your purchase History
