I'm sure by now you are aware of the issue where eBay are incorrectly adding VAT onto UK-UK listings in the coins and fine art categories.

 

Obviously this is a major concern as it is 

(a) illegal

(b) forcing buyers to pay 20% more than they should do on buy it now listings

(c) causig sellers to receive 20% less than they should on auction listings (as buyers will bid less)

 

So I have some questions

(a) when will this be fixed - obviously with eBay acting illegally, it should be a priority but its been ongoing for a week with no sign of eBay understanding it

(b) what will happen to the additional money that has been overpaid?  Are buyers and/or sellers goign to receive a refund? or is ebay just going to keep it and profit from their mistakes?
