Like Gumtree for example.
Ebay is the best personal selling site you can use but the price you pay is the higher rate of VAT on your listings.

Right, I don't understand that. The VAT rate for a country is set. How can you pay more/less if you use a different vendor? They can only charge you what the official VAT rate is, otherwise they're breaking the law, no? VAT goes to the government, and is set by them. It isn't flexible. So Ebay, Gumtree, DoneDeal, whoever, should all be charging the same rate of VAT, pursuant to the country you live in. Am I missing something here?
