Assalaamu Alaikum

Well I decided to just privately message the seller but I didn't give any sort of review. I did say to him as well that I knew he had done this to help save me some money but it doesn't feel right to me. It still feels dishonest really. Unfortunately I didnt even know of vat but from now on I'm steering clear of international purchases Insha Allah . It isn't worth it.

I agree with you, it is dishonest. When i made my purchase, i was also unaware of the VAT implications. I think that is a legitimate charge. however to pay £12 to DHL to pay £8 VAT to government, that seemed very unfair/unjust to me. I am not sure if we can 'donate', to the government, but if you cannot, perhaps you can absolve through giving in charity? Best to ask a Shaykh.
