In reply to Iwan:
Naah, that is the beauty of the single market.
VAT is more or less harmonized across the EU, at least with a lower bound and a narrow list of exceptions (mainly ones that were already in place in 91). As a consumer you simply pay your VAT at home, including if you buy from a seller in another EU country that exports above some limit to your country.
As a reseller, IIRC you have to register a VAT number or such, but there are more qualified people than me on this thread.
The extra faff for a private consumer trying to buy from a EU based online store is very much Brexit related.
