OSS procedure / country-specific VAT rates | Seller Lounge

Hello community, I use One-Stop-Shop and remit the respective VAT amounts for sales to other EU countries. For a sale via the Ebay platform abroad, the system always uses the same gross amount for the item (and of course shipping as well), which is based on the German VAT rate of 19%. If the sale is made to an EU country, the invoice shows the VAT applicable in the respective country and it is also remitted. And apart from Luxembourg, that is higher in all countries than here. The front-runner here is Hungary with an amazing 27%. The result: with every sale, a loss is incurred due to the difference in VAT, which reduces the revenue. For that reason, some countries have already been blocked; there is no need to exchange money. Why is there no option to adjust gross selling prices by country, as is possible in webshops? At any rate, I haven't found one yet; in the listings you can only specify the German VAT rate. Ebay help is anything but helpful.... Best regardsThomas
