ebay....cheeky fcuks!

[david932]

had an email sayin from the first of march there gonna charge vat on sold items

surely they cant do that on 2nd hand goods?

anyway apparently you need a vat number to get around this

gonna risk sounding very stupid now but does anyone know how to get a vat number?

U might be best off emailing the customer service Dept.

VAT is charged on the fees, not the value of the product you're selling, won't increase that much, the only way you'll get a VAT numer is if you're a trader selling new goods and declare your VAT seperately.

all it took was

www.google.co.uk and "ebay charging VAT" and voila ;)
