Can anyone tell me why I have to pay VAT on private sales within the UK? I am a private seller and as far as I am aware we are not liable for VAT on secondhand items. Why do E-bay apply this tax to all sales? Jill
My home page layout has changed and I do not know how to get it back to as it was. Can anyone help please? The new lay-out is very confusing as it gives too much information and is hard to navigate. Has anyone else had this issue? Jill
