Payment in USD for a product shipped from Europe? | Payments and Shipping

Hi! Something curious happened to me: I found an item I’m interested in with a very attractive offer from the seller. The problem is that the product in the listing appears to be shipped from the US, and the price is in dollars with eBay International Shipping. Since if there are customs duties, they would wipe out all the savings, I decide to contact the seller (the official manufacturer of the item for sale), and they tell me that since I live in the EU, the product will “naturally” be shipped from Europe because their marketplace is indeed located in Europe. Here’s my doubt: is this possible? If for some reason I end up getting hit with duties and VAT, could I take action against the seller? Thanks everyone, and please excuse my possible lack of experience 🙂
