From ebay this morning

From 1 January 2021, eBay will be legally required to begin collecting and remitting VAT for UK imports. From that date, eBay will have to charge buyers the applicable VAT amount directly and remit this sum to the relevant authorities.
Sellers trading with UK buyers and listing on the UK or any EU site will need to provide both gross prices as well as the applicable VAT rate used to calculate the gross price on all listings. If sellers do not specify gross prices and VAT rates, eBay will have to assume that
the price provided is the net price, and will add VAT on top of the price displayed to buyers.

We strongly urge sellers listing on http://eBay.co.uk  or other European eBay sites to specify the applicable VAT rates on existing listings as soon as possible.
All new listings should include a VAT rate. You will find the field for the VAT rate beside the price when you create or edit listings.

What you need to know:

From 1 Jan 2021, eBay will start to collect and remit VAT for UK imports on all consignments with a value of up to £135
There will no longer be a VAT exemption for small consignments up to £15.
- In cases where the seller is a non-UK business and the goods are already in the UK, eBay will collect and remit VAT for goods sold to consumers within the UK, regardless of their value.
- Sellers should begin listing the applicable VAT rates on all their existing and new listings as soon as possible.
- From 1 March 2021, eBay will make it mandatory to add VAT rate on all UK and EU sites when listing items.

No thanx: think I'll stick to selling AND buying in EU
