Customs fee breakdown from eBay?

Afternoon Overclockers,

Has anyone had any luck in getting a fee breakdown from eBay's Global Shipping Programme (GSP) for the charges paid to Pitney Bowes?

It only comes up as 'import charges' which won't be good enough for proving I've therefore paid VAT and duty on the items purchased.

Any pointers?

Don't use GSP? Sort the postage yourself?

A little late for that! I was expecting the breakdown as you get with FedEx, DHL etc. upon delivery, but nothing with this other than a very opaque 'import charges' fee, hence the request.

Who are you wanting to prove you have paid to?

Are you the buyer or the seller?

Buyer.

It's for tax purposes - to show I've paid all the fees due on the item. So if I were to leave the country with it, and return again, I would be able to show I don't need to pay VAT and duty yet again.
