    Yeah it will be fine as it's within the EU. Just be careful as it's not from Jersey as this can have VAT added on by customs on Ireland. If it's from mainland UK it will be fine. Have ordered a couple of tablets from the UK the past few months myself and have got them no problem with no extra tax added on.

    There is no limit, if you buy in the EU.
    Retailers with large volumes of trade with Ireland pay Irish VAT in any case e.g. Amazon.

    You can post a link to the auction if you want, so people can check it out, personally I wouldn't get a tablet off ebay unless I was 100% sure they were OK sellers. Many UK sellers are shipping from China and do there best to appear from the UK.
