IVA issue on out of EU order

[conce_jaim]

how will ebay site deal with this issue? Since July 1th, orders from outside EU will be charged with 23% iva. That´s ok, but the order will be stopped by Fiscal authorities and that will bring extras costs, making it too expensive to shop at the site, unless a payment of iva on the act of shopping is made available and the orders can pass through on arrival to the country. Is ebay going to adjust the site to cover this issue?

take it all up with your country: they want their share so it is now costing you more...

Do you mean VAT?

IVA	Imposto de Valor Acrescentado (Portugal; same as VAT)

eBay collects the VAT. If the seller buys the shipping label through eBay, it will automatically be marked with eBay's VAT # and that the VAT has been paid. Otherwise, the seller is supposed to make sure it is added to the label. That way the package should pass through customs without additional fees.

Here's more information about eBay collecting VAT from the buyer's viewpoint, for listings on eBay USA (from USA sellers):
