    No, that's what we're both in the EU for.

    Depends where the seller is, not all UK sellers ship from the UK..

    You should pay irish vat if there is a difference with the rate in the eu country where the seller is based (the difference , positive or negative) . Most ebay sellers don't bother but amazon etc will do it. No customs charges.
