A friend of mine had a similar experience. He bought an Olmpus mju 400 on US E-bay two weeks ago at what seemed like a very favourable price but had to pay Swedish VAT and duty and the final price was the same as he would have paid if he'd bought it from Cameras Underwater, which would have been a lot less hassle.
