*** ***Changes to VAT on eBay fees for business sellers with a registered address in Ireland******

20 March, 2018 | 01:28PM GMT Hello, From 1 May 2018, sellers with a registered address in Ireland will contract with eBay GmbH instead of eBay Europe S.à r.l. We’re not changing our net fees, or the services we provide, and sellers won’t need to update any of their listings. This change will appear on invoices starting from May 2018. Business sellers registered for VAT will continue to receive VAT-free invoices. Business sellers not registered for VAT will be charged 23% Irish VAT going forward. If you are registered for VAT and have not yet communicated your VAT number to us, we kindly ask you to do so (please go to Home > My eBay > Account > Site Preferences > Business Seller Preferences > VAT Status) We’d recommend all business sellers consult their tax advisers to find out how VAT applies to their eBay businesses. This change affects a number of our agreements, including our User Agreement , User Privacy Notice , and Billing Agreements. We currently already charge 23% Irish VAT on seller fees for non-business sellers. There will be no changes in their fees. Regards The eBay Team
