Hi Guys,
I recently sold some vintage lava lamps a Guy in Florida bought them and the total funds were quoted as saying $330 over what they sold for so I assumed that was covering my postage costs which came to a bit over $330 whichI thought was ok but now I find out Ebay charges sale tax of $130 and the buyer put in $200 for postage, this was not disclosed to me so now I short $ 130 on postage, can I get this back?
Thanks for any help

No you can not get it back, it is your responsibility to know what taxes, duties etc are payable. The tax is charged by the Florida state government, it is merely collected and dispersed by ebay.
Selling international is full of challenges, Firstly I hope they do not have a problem clearing US Customs, and I hope your buyer is fully aware that they require 240 volts and won't work in the USA without step up transformers. I hope I am wrong, only checked one of the listings which did not specify electrical requirements.
