    It is good to see you have a gentle and trusting side to you as well as your usual suspicious and strict school mistress persona. :)

    I was probably more sceptical about this seller as I had a similar experience, though in my case 17.5% VAT was added. The seller apologised and I gave him the benefit of the doubt as that is an understandable error.

    But VAT at 3.7% in NORTH YORKSHIRE is a lot harder to understand.

    Anyway, it is up to the OP to decide if ebay should be made aware.
  • 3.7% could be import duty but you should not be charged this separately.

    message the seller and query it.
