Hi, is there any update on this?
I've ordered some PCB's from PedalPCB and one of the Final Run Standouts from VFe after Brexit and didn't pay any VAT at the point of sale and just paid any Import duty and VAT before delivery (like I would if I bought something from Tayda or elsewhere).
Both were sent via USPS and had the standard USPS customs declaration label on it and there wasn't any problem.
Items under the value of £39 (around $55) are exempt from import duty and VAT anyway so the last shipment from pedalPCB I didn't have to pay anything.
I really want to build a couple more VFe pedals amongst a few other projects so would appreciate you looking into this again.
I've just read through the information on the .gov website and I don't believe you meet the criteria to be classed as an online market place as you use paypal to handle the transactions. "What an online marketplace is
HMRC's definition of an online marketplace is a business using a website or mobile phone app (such as a marketplace, platform or portal) to handle the sale of goods to customers which meets all of the following conditions:
in any way sets the terms and conditions on how goods are supplied to the customer
is involved in any way in authorising or facilitating customers' payments
is involved in the ordering or delivery of the goods
A business will not be classed as an online marketplace if it only provides one of the following services:
processing of payments for the supply of the goods to the customer
listing or advertisement of goods
redirection or transferring of customers to other websites or mobile phone apps where goods are offered for sale, without any further involvement in any sale that might take place on that website or app"

Food for thought. If you are treating it as a transaction through paypal for goods then I don't believe you are liable for the VAT and it will just be charged to me once the goods have entered the country.
