Just to add, regarding the "single tax return": In Finland many of the remaining have-to-input-manually things (e.g. kotitalousvähennys, tax credit for household expenses) can be reported on the tax web portal at any time.

The buyer may not have supported payment methods, especially overseas. E.g. most German cards don't work at amazon.com (unless things have changed recently), but work at PayPal.

Yes, this change means seller (or marketplace, if one is involved) is responsible for the VAT for consignments under £135 from US to UK, not recipient.
