Thank you Joe.
I didn't even think about this, but now when I see this, I have the same question... I am in Europe (Serbia), but we are not in the EU, do I pay VAT? I hope not.
sellers charge VAT in all countries. Only when they sale in a businessman (whole sale) they dont charge it. Thats what I do when I send to my sellers. But when a seller sells to an individual he charges VAT al the time. Thats the law guys
I don't think you're correct Imeo. As far as I know, according to EU law, VAT should not be charged on items being exported outside the bloc. Business transactions are another matter, businessmen within the EU would also be VAT exempt if they supply a VAT number. The businessmen would then pay the VAT in their own country.

Following is the relevant bit of the law:
VAT on imports and exports
For the purpose of exports between the Community and non-member countries, no VAT is charged on the transaction and the VAT already paid on the inputs of the good for export is deducted - this is an exemption with the right to deduct the input VAT, sometimes called 'zero-rating'. There is thus no residual VAT contained in the export price.
However, as far as imports are concerned, VAT must be paid at the moment the goods are imported so they are immediately placed on the same footing as equivalent goods produced in the Community. Taxable people registered for VAT will be allowed to deduct this VAT in their next VAT return.
VAT on goods moving between Member States
No frontier controls exist between Member States and therefore VAT on goods traded between EU Member States is not collected at the internal frontier between tax jurisdictions.
Goods supplied between taxable persons (or VAT registered traders) are exempted with a right to deduct the input VAT (zero-rated) on despatch if they are sent to another Member States to a person who can give his VAT number in another Member State. This is known as an "intra-Community supply". The VAT number can be checked using the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES).
The VAT due on the transaction is payable on acquisition of the goods by the taxable customer in the Member State where the goods arrive. This is known as "intra-Community acquisition". The customer accounts for any VAT due in his normal VAT return at the rate in force in the country of destination.

its not 30 euros Kin, its only 18 euros.
As for its price, the Iatty and most GG items are underestimated, so it was time to put the right value on them. As you see I didnt increase prices on anything else exept Iatty even if I had to do it on all GG items. Next time maybe

excuse me imeo, is there any addition to the complete iatty, like the tip of steel or some parts, because it costs a 30 euro more than the previous version.
thanks, very kind
I ask him about this issue 2 times per day Nick. Moneybookers ask him for a new paper every day!. But he told me that maybe tomorow he will be ready. Its a matter of hours I think. Greek seller also pushes Moneybookers to be as quick as possible. He does the best he can
Customers from outside Euro zone should not be charged VAT. I dought many times from European suppliers and everyone of 'em removed the VA%T from my bill. Now, Vassilis charging me VAT and when I sent him the payment without it - told me that i have to add VAT to my payment.. I don't mind paying additional $20, but it seems like a wrong move and I feel very uncomfortable about that. Just letting you know to avoid the confusion in the future
Yes, that makes sense. In the EU zone member states/citizens do not pay customs or VAT between themselves, so it is normal to pay VAT when you buy the product. But if you charge VAT for the non-EU citizens, than they pay double taxes. One when they buy the product and second time they pat VAT in their country, during the import process together with customs fee.
And one example - I was in Germany and bought bunch of stuff. Friend told me to keep the invoices and to show them to the German custom officer at the airport when I go back to Serbia. I did just that... officer checked the invoices, he look at my passport and airplane ticket (proof that I am from Serbia and going back there), and because I'm from non-EU country and will pay VAT to my custom officer, he refunded me all the VAT from all my invoices.
