From 1st July 2021, there will be changes to the way VAT is handled by eBay. This will affect the following sales scenarios:
Any country that imports to the EU
Sales made to the EU from the UK and other Non-EU countries
Sales made within the EU between different EU member states
eBay will now collect and remit the VAT for its sellers based on the following criteria:
The seller's location
The value of the consignment
The location of the item being sold
Seller location | Consignment value | Item location | eBay will collect & remit VAT based on the delivery country in the EU |
Inside EU | Up to €150 | Outside EU | Yes |
Inside EU | Above €150 | Outside EU | No |
Outside EU | Up to €150 | Outside EU | Yes |
Outside EU | Above €150 | Outside EU | No |
Outside EU | Any value | Inside EU* | Yes |
Inside EU* | Any value | Inside EU* | No |
*Delivery address is in the same EU country or in another EU country
eBay has requested that sellers provide a gross price and a separate VAT rate on their listings so that eBay can determine the correct amount of VAT to collect from consumers based on their location.
