2- The shipping on the invoice is more expensive than what the seller told me... why?
3- there is VAT on the invoice even though the record is from 1968.. why?

Mentor1 year agoGood evening @antjea-90
When buying abroad, you are importing, and you are liable for various taxes that have to be paid in order to receive the purchase.
Ebay has published an article on the subject---->
Paying taxes on purchases made on eBay | eBay
When shopping internationally, don't forget that shipping costs correspond to postage, and that customs clearance afterwards increases the bill substantially.
You need to use your calculator to see whether the extra expense is worth it..
Kind regards

Because: import VAT (20%) is added when the purchase is finalized.
