Offer accepted but price raised at checkout

[eres_1164]

Hello, I recently made an offer of $175 on an item which was accepted. However, when I click to pay now, the checkout is showing an inflated price of $210 with no reason as to why. I am happy to pay the price agreed, but not an inflated price with no reasoning. Can anyone help? I am in the UK and the item in Japan, so unsure if it is due to VAT or other taxes.

Import VAT will be added to your bill, eBay collect this and pass it on to HMRC. 

It's collected up front, so you don't need to pay it this end, along with the accompanying admin fee.
