Mentor11 months agoYou can import something that cost 50p and you'll still be charged import VAT.
Pre Brexit buyers could import £15 worth of goods in one shipment and not be charged anything, then they removed that.

Mentor11 months agoI take it you mean charged by eBay at checkout?
VAT is normally collected by eBay at checkout on purchases less than £135, see: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/paying-items/paying-tax-ebay-purchases?id=4771&st=3&pos=2&query=Paying%20tax%20on%20eBay%20purchases&intent=VAT&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1425
Over £135 it will normally be collected on delivery, plus an admin fee.
