Anyway to answer your question again as Contreras has already answered it - e-Buyer like many UK online retailers advertise their prices to UK businesses* without VAT included.
They then charge you VAT on the item/service and any delivery costs at check out.
They provide you with an online VAT invoice which is normally an email, or in some cases a separate pdf sent by email, and it's up to you to claim the VAT back from HMRC on your VAT return.
If you are on the flat rate scheme then the fact that you will make little purchases like this has already been considered in the scheme for so you cannot claim the VAT back.
However if you are making lots of stock/material purchases like this then you shouldn't be on the flat rate VAT scheme. Have a look at the HMRC VAT pages for more information about how to change schemes, and if you are stuck phone the VAT helpline. The people at the end of it don't bite.
*A few of them refuse to deal with non-UK businesses.

If on the FRS you can only reclaim VAT for capital assets >£2k. "package deals", e.g. laptop + printer on the same invoice are ok. HM Revenue & Customs: Flat Rate Scheme for VAT
Fwiw, I can't imagine spending £2k on a laptop when last year's ex-corporate model can be had refurbed for a tenth of that. YMMV.

2. If the receipt doesn't have a VAT number, you don't pay any additional VAT.
Either way, as long as it is an allowable expense (The wholey Business Use test), you can claim it.
