Buying from Athaya

[Emilio]

All that said, there are ways to ease the pain.
One possibility is a certain rise in retail prices but then sending the goods with VAT already paid.
AliExpress is doing this already. They just add VAT at the cashier. Then there are no handling feeds by DHL and the like. Namoki did very much the same they raised prices by 15% and send VAT included.
It is up to Athaya. He could do the same.

We could tell him about this option. He might have overlooked the possibility.

The thing I hate the most is how they still charge you for making you pay VAT so let's say you have to pay 10 euro VAT but get to pay 25 because 15 is their fee

It happened to me previously when I got a watch from Spain and DHL charged me service fees for helping me to paid upfront of my country Tax! I then told DHL that I wasn't given an option and I can pay the Tax myself. If they insist of charging me the service fees, I'll not accept/receive the package and told them to send it back to the seller instead! I never used DHL anymore accept for package below taxable amounts! The worst courier I've encountered so far.
