VAT in the UK

Hi

I am a private seller and wondered why my customers are being charged VAT who also live in the UK?

Are they being charged VAT on the buyer protection fee and postage?

 

They are taxable supplies by ebay.

I use simple delivery and there is a buyer protection fee.

 

I don't really understand it so just trying to figure out why

Ebay is a business, so has to charge VAT on their fees.

It would confuse people less if they didn't break the BPF down and just showed total cost.
