VAT added to some listings

Some of my listings have suddenly had 20% added to them - contacted Ebay support who gave me the usal 'sorry we are looking into it' etc etc. and fobbed me off with a line about not accepting liability for service interruptions - you pay for something (i.e the shop front) but they break it its not their fault! I for one will be removing my listings and going elsewhere - the bugs are part of life - the total lack of support is not.

Others have experienced this, a member has spoken to eBay Customer Services, they explained it is a technical glitch,  they are aware,  and are working on it.

 

Though no timeframe given for when this will be fixed!

Just by way of an update - spoke to Customer Support again - same answer 'we're working on it' - unable to provide any timescale for resolution so we just have to wait indefinitely. Come on Ebay - sort it out!

Re: VAT added to some listings

We are having the same problem, it does seem that ending your listings and re starting them does seem to fix it from what I can tell so far, but if you have a vast amount of listings this becomes impractical and time consuming and is not a permanent solution but can help to fix some of your more important buy it now listings. We ourselves are definitely noticing the impact of this glitch especially considering it started 2 days before month end. We have also spoken to customer service and got the same response, hopefully due to it impacting a few they might actually try to fix it.

There was a suggestion on the boards to bulk edit. Drop prices by the smallest amount it will accept and bulk edit again to put them back.

Yes we did try this and didn't work for us unfortunately.

Re: VAT added to some listings

i went the end listing & re list route - painful but the prices are correct for now! Downside is that I lost all the followers for each item - thx Ebay!

 

Let's hope they read these posts as I will be doing all i can to get away from Ebay as soon as possible. The tech is poor and the support is non existent.

I just revised my listings but made no adjustment to the original price which appears correct in the draft and it fixed the issue once the listings refreshed after 5 mins or so.

Re: VAT added to some listings

I had the same response from eBay. That it's a glitch and to leave it with them. This has definitely impacted my sales and looks like many others have experienced the same tiresome issue. 
I will have to try the 'end and relist' option too I guess but it is frustrating that eBay have no answers or timescale for correction. 🤷‍♀️
