Swiss VAT seller, shipping from Portugal | Community Mentor Help

Hello everyone, I haven’t had a clear answer from eBay chat, so I’m turning to the community for more details about my question. So I won an auction from a private seller based in Switzerland; it’s a used item bought for €11.50 + €10 shipping. eBay charges me VAT, okay, I pay because it’s a non-EU country, so 20% VAT on €21.50, which is an extra €4.30. Except that I receive the package and the sender’s address is based in Portugal, in the European Union. I asked eBay the question and they replied that any item bought outside France is subject to VAT. I still have a big doubt, I hope someone can clarify this for me. Thanks
