Buying from Switzerland | Buying on eBay

Hello, I wanted to buy a collectible item, rather expensive (>1000€) from Switzerland and have it shipped to Italy. Until now, I have bought several times from non-EU countries (USA, UK, Australia) without any problem, paying the import taxes separately all at once at the time of payment, in a single solution.Is it possible to do the same thing for a shipment from Switzerland too? Let me explain better: can I ask the Swiss seller to calculate the import taxes himself so I can pay everything in one go with electronic payment?Because at the moment he is not offering me this option: I would like to understand whether he cannot do it or whether he does not want to do it. Because the alternative, if I understood correctly, is having to pay cash upon delivery, which I absolutely want to avoid (I want the package delivered to my workplace, and obviously the receptionist can't shell out the money to the courier!).Thanks.
