    When I first started selling on eBay I had this argument with my accountant.
    I am selling postage for the cost of the stamp so I shouldn't be charging VAT on it was my argument however my accountant disagreed.

    IF they are using a VAT exempt postage option (not all RM services are) they will still have to charge you VAT as they are not selling you a stamp, they are selling you a service that includes the use of that stamp. If they sold a book a stamps to you then they wouldn't need to charge VAT on the book of stamps but they would on posting the stamps to you as it is a service.

    Noipe even though small postage is not VATable by the post office it IS when we sell it as a service unfortunately the HMRC makes us charge Vat for postage as were not the originators of the item we are selling it on so its then vattable
