eBay withholding sales tax twice | Selling

I made a sale via eBay international shipping, from US to Jersey (UK). The GST there is 5%. According to the order information I can see, it shows they charged the buyer 5%, but then withheld 10% from my payout. Any idea why I would get hit with an extra 5%? The eBay reps Iâ€™ve communicated with have effectively said, â€œThe buyer paid tax to us, we withheld tax from you, whatâ€™s the problem? Our systems are infallible.â€ I can post a screen shot later for documentation (thereâ€™s also a minor math error, which doesnâ€™t give me much confidence either).
