Status on import duties and VAT when an item is purchased in UK for EU

Now that Brexit has happened and the transition period is over since one month, is anyone has a clear idea as to whether import duites and VAT is charged in EU when buying electronics (camera) from UK? It confuses me that ebay still treats UK as a EU country when it's clearly not the case any more at least not in financial terms. For example when you filter a search "from certain locations only", in this instance EU only, the search includes items located in UK! My question is whether I will have to pay any import taxes and sales tax (VAT) when I buy a camera from UK to be delivered to Greece. Thanks!

While that really doesn't affect us here in the US, most of the people I've talked to advise that buyer's within the EU when purchasing from the UK would be subject to duty and VAT since the UK is no longer a member of the union just as if the purchased from here in the USA.
