Ebay does not ensure its traders follow the law, its T&C's are at odds with UK Law, and yet it insists on following them even when this is pointed out. I have given up and I am taking the vendor to the small claims court, where the law is actually applied. Additionally, when I pointed out that the trader was registered for VAT and yet the invoice had no VAT, or VAT number on it they didn't care. I will be reporting both the trader and Ebay to HMRC.
