Hello, I wanted to point out that I received an Offer for Item ID: 334167791278 SET 7 NEPALESE SINGING BOWLS US $146.30 (EUR 38.71 discount) instead of the eBay Auction price of US $174.73. At the moment I’m about to win the item, I notice that the estimated Total cost rises to US $178.49 (about EUR 166.14), considering that the corresponding VAT of US $32.19 is added.The incredible thing is that if I win the item at full price without the discount, the cost would be lower, namely US $174.73, considering that VAT is not mentioned in the published listing! Why is there this inconsistency? It seems like a "trick" to lure in the potential buyer, who is tempted, but in the end ends up paying a different amount... Unfortunately, I like eBay less and less and I am slowly moving away from its deceptive auctions!
