I read that as them clamping down on the person selling the exact same Chinese shite as everyone else but "**UK Seller!!1!**". I'm guessing those guys probably aren't VAT registered?
I get a lot of Enfield parts that way. As far as I can make out, the apocryphal Indian parts supplier has effectively stocked a branch of his warehouse in his second cousins spare room in a housing estate in Walsall for quick dispatch and savings on postage. I'm guessing they don't pay VAT either. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Not quite so trivial.
Companies exporting to the EU have a big market to target; they're incentivized to sort the details. Companies exporting to the UK on the other hand have a much smaller market, and are less likely to go to the effort, unless they're reasonably big.
And of course companies within the EU can export to other EU countries really easily, while exporting from EU to UK after 1st January is probably going to be sufficiently painful that only quite large enterprises bother.
You can expect a lot less choice of where to buy stuff from after 1st January. Brexit dividend.
Amusingly, William Shatner complained about it on Twitter:

He's stopping sales of misc memorabilia to the UK after 1st January because of the faff.
There was a snippet in the times:

Interesting, although it came over a bit Remoaner
BTW, the £70 grand threshold for sales also goes out the window on Jan 21st, yearly turnover will be irrelevant.
Let's take this scenario...
Direct Sales Company X in China China registers for VAT to export stuff to UK punters; paperwork done, all i's dotted all t's crossed.
Company X sells all its stock and "collects" the VAT.
Company X shuts up shop and without paying the VAT man a bean. Now what?
If Company X is deemed to be withholding VAT payments what happens to products in transit? The UK punter paid Company X the VAT in good faith.
It all seems a bit thin on details ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Also, the "final mile" carriers had a nice little tickle going on with "admin fees" when import duties were applied. We should be seeing a volcanic eruption of toys being thrown out of prams at the Royal Snail, Parcel Farce, Fed Ex, etc. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

The other thing is we managed to deal with this shit perfectly well before the single market came into being in 1993 and technology has come on some since then. Each EU country had its own currency, duty rules and VAT regimes back then. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
