Anyone found eBay this week imposing an unannounced 20% VAT on top of the final price that buyers see?
Which incredibly they (and sellers) only find out after the sale - if they read the Paypal email.
eBay guide says VAT is only due if goods are coming from abroad / seller is registered abroad / being sent to buyer registered abroad.
None of those apply to me, a small private seller with two soon-to-be angry buyers who'll blame me. I've had zero notification. A few other sellers on forums report the same. I've had to suspend sales.
Check your Paypal emails to see.
