How do I reclaim the VAT when bought from Ebay

Please note! This only applies if you purchase the product from Ebay

In the EU Ebay charge our customers the appropriate VAT rate at the time of purchase.
On all the deliveries sent from us the VAT code is clearly stated both on the address label and in the bar code.

In rare circumstances the customs miss this information and charge the consumer VAT again.

In this instance the advice would be to accept the parcel and get a detailed receipt for the amount paid, it should be noted that a figure on a piece of paper will not get you the refund.
Then follow these instructions:
