eBay new direct payment -

[trollhattenian]

We did not pay VAT In UK on PayPal charges so will we now be charged VAT by eBay on their higher charges and 30p per item fee?

If so - on the Item you will be charged 12.8% Plus VAT = to 13.3 % 

An additional .5% on Selling Fees

Plus an additional 6p (20%) on the 30p fixed charge a Total of 36p.

Also For Example on the regular Small Parcel cost of £3.20  an additional 42.5p Fee . 

Selling low price items and charging normal postal rates are you loosing money?

[pixiesen2012 · Accepted solution]

you are a private seller so the VAT is already included in the 12.8% you are not charged VAT on top of this

Surely ebay has covered charges in the instruction relating to the Managed Payments system.

It is not exactly new and some sellers will have been using it for somemonths and I have not heard of any one mentioning this "problem".

VAT is issue on fees with UK private sellers. eBay have only just stopped us using PayPal. No mention of VAT in the eBay update but is being added to all Fees when invoiced.

you have always paid VAT on the fees, it is included in the % a private seller is charged,

it is just being shown separately on your invoices now,

you are not being charged any more than before
