VAT for small businesses

Question

Hellosince 1.1.26, VAT of 19% is automatically charged on the total amount (incl. packaging and shipping). That leaves just 3 cents left on a 1-euro item with €2.70 for packaging and shipping (although that’s already the stamp without an envelope) after deducting the tax and the eBay fees...Do I have to enter the 19% tax in the item description so that it is only charged on the item price and not also on packaging and shipping?

As a small business owner, you enter 0. And on eBay, you pay tax on the total amount including shipping costs.And that's why you can't get around it as a small business owner either!
