I didn't explain it good enough, I think. If I am selling a product and my state charges me some taxes, those taxes will be included in the price. After all it's a matter of point of view: what do you want to pay? $100, no taxes or $80 + VAT? Isn't this the same thing? I will pay the vat to state anyway, so we are actually speaking about customer paying 100 and vendor receiving 80.

>Romania is not in the EU, so if I (Dutch) order something on a Romanian website, I will not be charged your local VAT, and formally I'll have to pay VAT on import to the Dutch government.
>Are you suggesting that the website collects that tax anyway? If so, do they pay it to the Romanian Gov. or do they keep it in their own pocket, as extra profit?
