"eBay is obliged to collect UK VAT on goods sold through eBay to UK customers in the following circumstances:

Goods imported into the UK, with a parcel value of up to Â£135. Note that there is no longer a VAT exemption for small consignments up to Â£15
Goods of any value sold by a non-UK seller and shipped from inventory stored in the UK. Sellers may still have UK VAT obligations and should consult their tax advisors for further information"
