    If the value exceeds a certain limit that they have, Im not sue what the threshold is, then they will hold it & contact you for a copy of your paypal receipt. Then the tax will be calculated based on what you paid ie 23%vat. This happened to me a while back. sometimes the courier company (dhl or fedex) will do this also.
    But you might be lucky and it will get through without any issues. :D

    Ask the seller to mark it as used second hand item with a value of 20 euro and if u really want to be sure pay him in two instalments. First total price less 20 and second only 20 so you have a receipt
