First time shipping to EU since the change. I received the pdf from BrickLink
and printed it out to attach to package, no problem. But in the email is a note
that I must add the ioss number to my shipping carrier, so that the buyer doesn't
get charged VAT twice. Where do I add that number to Paypal Ship Station??

I didn't see anywhere to enter the IOSS number either so I ran the label
in Pirateship. I read here on the forum that the IOSS entry box is only available
if you have a paid subscription to Shipstation. Nice, forcing you to pay for
something
that is required.

Thanks to both of you. I will check them out.

However, I must say I am a bit frustrated. I know there has been talk in the
past about the new VAT information. But did BrickLink send out a notice to all
us sellers that we have to jump through these hoops? I am very upset that I
cannot do this label through Paypal or Paypal's shipstation! I sure don't
want an angry buyer telling me that he has to pay VAT twice! Great. Now I have
to void the label and find a carrier that WILL let me print the label and add
the IOSS number given to me from BrickLink. Would have been nice to know this
before it came up for me! I am seriously thinking I will just forget about shipping
international if it is this much of a hassle.
