Vat on an item is nothing to do with the seller
Starting 1 January 2021, eBay is required to collect VAT on certain orders delivered to UK addresses:
- Orders up to £135 sent from outside the UK
- Orders where the item is located in the UK, but the seller is not a UK seller
You'll see the VAT included in your order total at checkout, and you can view and download a tax invoice from the Order details page in your Purchase history.
On orders over £135 imported to the UK, the recipient may need to pay VAT as part of clearing the parcel through customs.
