My son purchased a laptop from USA for £675, via PayPal using a Barclaycard - when it arrived he received a customs invoice for £143 which he could not afford to pay, he had no idea he would have to pay VAT and the seller had told him he wouldn't have to as he would mark it as a "gift".
My son did not pay it as he doesn't have the money, it has now been deemed return to sender and got exported back to USA on 19th July by parcel force. That is where the tracking ends.
Where do we stand here -'the seller is down a laptop and my son is down £675, who is responsible for chasing this up with parcel force?
I know my son has cocked up and I wish he had told me what was going on, so that I could have sorted it out properly, but any advice what to do now much appreciated.
