Price proposal accepted but different price at checkout
Summary: slivoooo is confused about a discrepancy in the total price of an item they purchased from the USA, which was originally $445 with $44 shipping, but now shows a total of $573.39 at checkout. perfect-sally explains that additional costs such as a 19% VAT and other fees like customs may apply when buying from abroad, which could account for the price difference.
Hello everyone :)
I’m a bit lost right now and not sure whether the total at checkout is really correct. Today I bought an item from the USA via Best Offer ( $445 plus $44 shipping). As soon as I want to pay for the item, I’m shown a total of over $573.39 and the item is listed with a price of $529.55 (see screenshot)

Could you help me out here?
Thanks in advance! :)

Mentor2 weeks agoAdd the 19% VAT to the 445 and then the calculation is correct!
If you buy abroad, fees like customs, taxes... etc. are always added too!
