Hi.
How do I get a refund from eBay for Vat charged when the good sold outside the uk didn’t enter the uk. They stayed in the country of sale.

Even if the item had been located within the UK, if either the Buyer/Seller is located or has an account registered outside the UK ,  then Import/Export VAT and any other duty is liable on  (EU > UK < EU point of sale transactions).

You as buyer are registered in the UK and therefore pay 20% VAT.
