Or something between those lines. I think mm78 posted it, sry if I'm remembering wrong
It is a video with a guy in his 30s, dark hair, kinda skinny, with left screen half covered by a bue PowerPoint
He explains how to get around it exactly
You should be able to find it hopefully :D |
I think I saw that video already and I don't think it will work. eBay said in their e-mail that they are required by law to verify each and every document they get from sellers.
There was a big seller on eBay selling computer parts, the company was registered in Asia and the guy has been selling for the last 10 years (5000+ feedbacks/month) without being interrupted. I tried to buy something, but once I wanted to check out, I got a message saying the following:
"The check-out process couldn't be completed due to tax reasons, please contact our customer service for further support"
The guy got booted and all of his listings were removed. I think the Finanzamt (German IRS) got directly involved in this and probably his EU bank account is already frozen.
There is a ton of complaints from all kinds of German businesses about VAT evasion by foreign sellers and Germany finally decided to crack down on this.
