VAT should only be paid on items (new or used), which are being shipped/billed to UK addresses. If you are buying from the states they should not be charging you VAT. I would bet that their web site code is just plain wrong.

However, it just occurred to me that maybe the tax requirements are different for used items. There's a vague recollection of that in a dusty corner of my memory. So, you may be right. I've only purchased new items.
