Why would he? He lives in the USA.
If you sell stuff in the EU you have to abide by EU business law. Same applies for most countries.
Apparently that's not true, he's not charging VAT fees either and he's been doing it for almost 10 years now. .

Apparently that's not true,
it is you know, thats why such rules exist. same with the vat...

however, the first is a civil law, so requires a complainant to bring a case, which would cost thousands up front
so not likely

the vat, he probably doesn't sell enough for them to give a shit, seeing as they cant be arsed chasing google or amazon.

you don't to go through with a full case in civil court, in many places you can start with a formal complain at the local consumer protection agency.

wouldn't know, never needed to, but thanks for the clarification :)

then im not sure why no one has bothered trying? but it's still a law, that could be enforced.
they wouldn't just make laws that people don't really have to bother with :hihi:

not that im saying anyone should either, i have no opinion either way on it being ok or not, if it's upfront then it's a decision you make before purchase, it's on you imo.

No, it's not. Sorry, but you don't know international law. US companies are not required to collect VAT for products they sell and distribute from the US, and that includes software and online services. Likewise, EU sellers to US consumers are not required to collect state sales tax, so this cuts both ways.

The only exception is if they have a physical business presence in the country/state to which they are selling.

The same applies to EU consumer protection laws.

Source: Me. I have to know these laws because my company does millions in online sales, and I set up the tax compliance engines. We don't market to the EU, but if they order, we do ship there and are happy to take their money.

No, US companies don't have to follow EU transfer laws either. EU laws mean jack shit outside of the EU.
