They can, on the same way than they issued the "Safe Harbor Privacy". As for the law, even if I don't know how it will works, it has been already accepted by World Trade Organization, 3 years ago. Just came the time (after the "trial" period) to start valid. So it's an international law.

PS: "Trial" period: Don't know the word. It's the time frame which they allow before the law being active.

Really don't know. I'm not a Lawyer not even an Accountant. What I know that there is such rule valid from Jan 1st, 2015. Also, as I've post before, Envato Marketplace and Hostgator Hosting company, will start collecting this VAT from that day. Actually Hostgator started it from middle of November, don't know why.

As I said, it's only for electronic services/downloadable products, and as I know most items on eBay are tanginle products. For them the new rule has no effect.

But I found this article:
