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?

What Country is the Seller in? Are they using Global Shipping?

I always click on uk sellers only and the item is being shipped from
England but I now think that they may be using this as a front.

Yes and that is exactly what what it is for

If you read my reply where on the ebay policy it says
• Orders where the item is located in the UK, but the seller is not a UK seller

It came in with leaving Brexit and make sure taxes are paid

It is to stop sellers avoiding our VAt taxes
My own opinion is
Perhaps that is why some items from China are so cheap they are not paying the taxes

Thanks so much for your helpful answers. At least it stopped me getting
caught out by an international seller pretending to be in the uk.
