VAT

Can a seller add VAT after an offer is accepted when this is not stated in the listing?,

It is not the seller that is adding it.

Ebay has to collect it for HMRC

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

Thank you for the reply, I did delve into the depths to find the reason, however, I do think it should be stated very clearly in the listing.

Ebay could have made this a lot clearer, they have gone silent when we asked them!
