And that is the problem, most people have never bought and sold outside of the EU. When somebody like yourself patiently explains the implications they get dismissed because some bloke down the pub said it would be fine and it is all the fault of Remainer.skyblueamateur said:
TBF mate, it's not profiteering. They're the same sets of charges and clearances we have paid when importing from any third party country. Paperwork comes at a cost.

They won't be the only website that won't take an order from the eu in the few days before the 31st.
Unfortunately, the movement of parcels and pallets to the continent from January is mainly Brexit related.
The price of a single box to ROI has trebled and a pallet now has a £50 surcharge on to cover the extra paperwork and customs clearances. Even with a FTA the amount of bureaucracy necessary is a big burden on businesses especially SME's. For all of the EU's many faults this is the massive advantage to exporters of the SM.
After speaking to someone directly affected over the weekend, it's the uncertainty that is gumming everything up. We should have gone No Deal at the beginning of December and removed this uncertainty. It would have done less damage and disruption

You've gone off message, the acceptable terminology is Australia style agreement or no further deal. No deal is very negative and suggests those delivering Brexit have been incapable of agreeing anything over the past 12 months.coopster_the_1st said:

It looks like it is replacing the EU VAT rules, whereby any sale to a customer who is inside the EU but does not have a VAT registration is treated for tax purposes as a domestic sale (so if you are in France, selling to a person in Italy, you charge French tax, assuming you don't have an Italian tax registration, in which case you can charge VAT on destination rates).surrey_commuter said:

Seems like if this was not replaced, then EU companies would be able to sell into the UK without charging VAT on consignments up to £135.
Re: the loophole on online sellers - yes. It removes the £15 low value consignment relief and the relief of customs duty on parcels valued under £135.
Sounds similar to the US online sales tax situation following the Wayfair tax decision.

FWIW, the removal of the low value (£15/22€) exemption and replacement with a VAT payment requirement with a threshold of £135/150€ for VAT rather than duties and tariffs is an EU initiative that has been delayed until July in the EU, but the UK equivalent has not been delayed.surrey_commuter said:

I read his posts as him being in the logistics business, shipping in and out or the EU and knows more than 99% of the population what the impact of leaving the SM/CU will be.
I try to refrain from posting on such topics and stay away from the arguments as views on both sides are very much entrenched and I don't think me coming across as a smartarse is going to change much.
The only thing I find frustrating is the fact that tariffs are viewed as being a retaliation in the event of a no deal. They aren't, we are just exchanging one set of rules, the EU's, with another, the WTO's.
People need to be aware that a FTA isn't the silver bullet in all of this. There will be still be a lot of bureaucracy, paperwork and cost involved regardless.
We are where we are and we need to be pragmatic about the realities so that we are fully prepared.0 -
Effectively, yes. Needs to be aligned otherwise one group would get a competitive advantage.

I reckoned on the buy-it price (before shipping costs) in $ being slightly higher than the end cost in £, at a time when the rate was about $1.70. One or two slipped through with no extra costs, which was a nice bonus.Stevo_666 said:
