A value-added tax (VAT or goods and services tax (GST), general consumption tax (GCT)) is a consumption tax that is levied on the value added at each stage of a product's production and distribution. VAT is similar to, and is often compared with, a sales tax."
Don't know the full details on how a VAT is assess on your side of the pond but we assess a sales tax in all but 5 of the United States - rates will be different for state to state and county to county. Most folks on this site are eBay sellers & buyer just like you and have no clue about how your system works. You need to direct your inquiry to what ever eBay services your part of the world.
Cherrio and Good Luck
PS: Do know when I visited London and Dunstable for 7 days about every thing I purchased I paid a VAT. Then someone told Canada to do the same.
