I recently purchased a watch from this seller, after I paid for item I was asked to pay a further 5.32 Euro (about £5.00) this was for 19% VAT (VAT rate in Germany is 19%).

Since February 2008 eBay banned any seller to add VAT to final purchase price.

I have refused to pay this and I suggest to do the same if seller asks you for it and report seller to eBay.

Will post any further updates
