I'd imagine it's because a lot of British cyclists buy from this seller (he offers items that are getting really hard to find in the UK in good condition if you're willing to pay the appropriate price) and the pound (normally!) gives a stronger and more stable exchange rate in Eastern Europe than the Euro & US dollar. However, at present he's probably just as confused by the current exchange rates as the rest of us!
