Dear Seller,
Greetings from eBay!
This is in reference with our AB post dated 10 th September 2020 wherein we had communicated about the changes to VAT import regulations for the UK and EU in 2021.
Further, note that for eBay orders placed after 1 July 2021, where eBay has collected import VAT on your shipment into the EU (up to a consignment value of €150), eBay’s IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) number will be available.
To offer you a smooth shipping experience, eBay Global Shipping (“EGS”) will pass on eBay’s IOSS number for shipments to EU electronically to the selected logistic service provider for consignments up to a value of €150 with effect from 22 nd July 2021.
It is important that you follow the below mentioned Do’s and Don’ts while booking shipments to EU and UK on EGS.
Do’s:
- Ensure correct value of goods in the invoice: The value of the goods on the invoice and airwaybill (“AWB”) must match the value of your eBay transaction order.
- Proof of Purchase: Send the copy of your eBay transaction order/proof of purchase with your shipment to the logistic service provider.
- Description of Goods: Ensure that the item description in the AWB and invoice is simple and precise so that custom authorities are able to identify the goods.
Don’ts:
- Multiple orders under one AWB: The consolidation of multiple orders under one AWB will not be accepted.
- Multiple line items under one order: Orders with more than one line item cannot be split and booked under more than one AWB.
- Prohibited/Restricted goods: All goods falling under prohibited category are excluded from IOSS number arrangement. eBay will not collect import VAT on such goods and therefore, do not share the IOSS number for such goods.
- B2C Shipment: The shipment should be a B2C shipment (i.e. you are selling products to end consumers).
For any further clarification please reach out to the eBay global shipping team.

Team eBay Global Shipping
