Hi 

I have ordered a clipper and I paid through klarna and the delivery driver said you need to pay £64 for the tax because it came from Italy and I said I already paid for it through Klarna and it was £219 plus £13 delivery which is £73a month and the guy said I’m not giving it to you until you pay £64 so I said no so the guy took the clipper back and I’ve already paid for it so can someone help me please

If you fail to pay the duty/tax on import you may not get the item and will lose any eBay protection.  This is possibly an unwanted effect of Brexit

 

Listings located abroad carry a warning that charges may be due.

How do you know you already paid the tax at checkout?

 

A delivery charge is not tax.

When buying from abroad, ebay. collects VAT for items up to £135, above that and it is import duty, which is collected on delivery plus a  collection charge.

Royal Mail for example require payment before delivery, some  couriers collect at delivery, others deliver then send an invoice for duty and fee.

As item was over £135 you did not pay duty on purchase. As said refusing to pay invalidates the money back guarantee, so can prove expensive, no item, no money.
