Oh I had plenty of issues with the mobile site (NA) had to log in on my computer to do it.

Maybe they were testing some "fixes" on the NA site, but it was still mostly unresponsive and only barely operational. Presumably the EU store will learn from the NA issues and work much better when it reopens.
[I would expect and certainly hope that they weren't thinking "oh yeah, let's make the site not load and if it ever does let's make it take 2 hours to check out, and let's be especially cruel to our EU players because... we hate them!"]
Never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by incompetence.
The charge is temporary, kinda like seeing if you actually have the money. You actually wont get charged until it actually ships. Try going back to store home and clearing cart. Then try ordering the CE you want again. That worked for me.
Well it's expected to be more expensive, plus they'll probably charge shipping on top of the £130 , but I can't think of any amount of tax which would make a product almost 50% more expensive in another country, especially since if it was paid for in Euro's you'd only be paying £92 roughly
