Selling through EU company account in EU and outside EU how to arrange price difference ( VAT )

[njperformance]

Im located in the EU ,  I ve been using the platform for a long time and i should have taken actions for this long time ago but coudnt decide how so i would like to know how you ' ve dealt with this case .

I will try to explain quickly  my problem  - 

My EU and lets say USA clients will pay  the same amount of money for the same listing including shippinig.

Here is what bothers me , selling to a EU non company customer i have to pay additional % VAT from my pocket according to their country specific VAT rates . Lets take for an example Sweden , i have to pay additional 25 % VAT to the item I ve sold which is not paid by the buyer and results in my having almost negative profit from the whole transaction . 

Is there any mechanism i can enable so a variable VAT rate or at least solid ( 20% ) can be applied to buyers only in the EU leaving the outside of EU prices unaffected or i would have to duplicate all my listings and redo prices and countries serviced .

PS : i also have one more problem - 7 out of my 21 listings are showing in my profile and Ive noticed this today ( they are not new )

VAT issues are not really in my wheelhouse but had a couple of thoughts.

One solution is to raise prices slightly across the board to lessen the impact of the occasional VaT on your bottom line. I do this, adding a few cents onto every item price that, when sold, goes into a suspense fund for unforeseen losses. Over the years my suspense fund became substantial. This is not an immediate solution for you but helpful for future planning.

You can also opt to block those EU countries you do not wish to ship to. For those regions charging a high VAT, this would be a more immediate solution. But not knowing your sales strategy, this would block some sales that you might be counting on?

Now for your missing listings, i see all 21. Did you mean to say 7 listings are NOT showing in your profile?

Something doesn’t sound right.  You should never be required to take taxes out of your own funds as the buyer is required to pay.  Who is telling you to collect the VAT?  Are you then submitting that VAT to the applicable country?  For non EU sellers eBay collects VAT but I’m not that familiar with the ins and outs of EU sellers collecting  VAT but I do know that buyers are the ones who pay VAT, not the sellers.  

According to the eBay  VAT help pages:

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

• Goods imported into the EU with a parcel value of up to EUR 150.”

It looks like most of your items sold have been for higher than that amount so that is could be why eBay isn’t collecting the VAT on those transactions.  My ‘guess’ is that if the item is above that amount, the country will collect that amount directly from the buyer  on delivery. If that is the case, you won’t see or have to worry about  VAT in the package is over 150 Euros.   But you need to confirm that as I am not a EU  seller or a tax expert and haven’t throughly read the EU/VAT  help pages.  There should be more info for you on these pages.

I’m not sure why you only see 7 listings.  I see 20 listings whether I have the US or Bulgaria as my location.

 My best solution is that i will remove EU Shipping for current products and will duplicate all the listings with increase prices for calculated flat 20% vat. I really hoped there is something integrated solution in Ebay platform for this problem .
