If item sent through GSP, you will be charged import fees when paying for item.

If sent direct by seller, you will pay VAT,  import fees and carrier fee before they deliver. 

If you refuse to pay import,  you invalidate ebay MBG.

If the item is over £135 you'll pay fees this end because Customs Duty will be payable as well.

 

HMRC have an import fees calculator you can use to check how much will be payable on your item. Don't forget to add the courier admin fee, which may be £8 if Royal Mail are the delivery partners this end, or as much as £30 if a company like FedEx.

 

I'd factor in an additional 30%.
