just had my email from ebay to say they will be collecting 20% vat on sales to the EU, regardless private or business seller.
i stopped selling to overseas on ebay a few months ago. as parcels were either rejected or lost when going to germany, spain, or france. even though paperwork was correct and present.
we still sell to the EU from the website. but now we send the customer all postage details. and after that they have to take responsibility for any losses.
money grabbing is a big thing for multi million pound companies at the moment, and it makes me wonder if ebay can claim the VAT back on the vat money they collect???.
the bubble will have to burst somewere.
