I see eBay are now selling the same item for different prices on .com and .co.uk sites.
Is this new ? It doesn't happen on every item and I don't think it's the seller's choice.

Example - an item that's listed at $39.99 on ebay.com is listed at $49.99 (and converted to £37.15) on ebay.co.uk
The same item shows postage to the UK as  $20.55 and £19.09 on ebay.co.uk

It seems as though they're applying the usual £1=$1 ripoff but doing it especially incompetently.
It could be duty but that should be part of the shipping expense, not added to the price since it's applied by the shippers. It would also apply to all items.

If you're in the UK and want to order from the US I suggest you check the price on ebay.com, potentially saving 20%.

Because UK VAT.
DaJMasta:
There are new rules that have come out of Brexit, basically.  For a seller in the US, they actually charge extra to promote on the UK site.  I don't know if this is VAT rules, or that ebay has to operate some separate service/office/extra guarantees in the UK specifically, but I think it's on both sides and it's due to local regulations.
artag:
Then why is it inconsistently applied ?

Because I doubt you actually tried ordering to see the full price once you enter shipping address.
