How To reclaim VAT on ebay final value fees

[nordicbling]

Hello!

I have a VAT registered company in sweden that sells products on ebay.com.

When i sell items i get charged 25% VAT on my final value fees, 25% is the standard VAT rate in sweden.

So my question is how do i reclaim the VAT ? Does ebay have a swedish branch that has charged me 25% percent vat on the final value fees or is it another eu based branch of ebay?

Anybody from another EU country with experience on how to reclaim the VAT? 

Thank You for your time! 🙂
