Hello, Link still doesn't open but found an earlier reply to another member about the same issue.

It seems to say that the  Buyer Protection fee is a service and , as such, is liable for VAT on top , as in my case,., not on  the postage service.

Have I understand correctly?... see answer below...

"If you bought from private seller, then the BPF includes VAT, as it is a service charged by ebay.

I.E. you are paying VAT on ebay fee, not the item purchased."

Yes VAT is on the BPF. 

Ebay confuse buyers by breaking the cost down.

Don't know why you can't open links.
