Free shipping never includes local duties and taxes unless specifically stated. The threat sounds odd, this was the first you heard about charges?
I’d probably just pay up - seller has decent rep?

But the seller declaring themselves to be in Germany when they're actually posting from SA is misrepresentation. If I was in the buyer's situation I'd have no qualms buying between EU countries, but wouldn't risk buying from SA specifically because of import duties.
Absolutely raise a claim and pursue it with eBay if the seller keeps schtum.
