EdwardHimself Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I saw this digital mixer on the bay which i wouldn't mind taking a punt at if i'd had more money. I'm just wondering though because it appears they want to charge VAT on top of the final price and i'm wondering if they're allowed to do this?

Yeah as i say i'm probably not going to buy (although i'd be REALLY interested in it if i had enough readies) it but whoever does get it shouldn't be slapped 17.5% extra on when they don't have to be. I think i'll send them a polite PM. Edited January 8, 2010 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Well i ended up filing a report. Ebay does have a category on their reports for "vat charges outside of the sale price". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
