Returning to selling in the EU

I’m planning on returning to selling in the EU, it’s been about three years since since I stopped. I’ve registered for VAT in Germany and firstly will only store goods in Germany. At this point I’m not interested in pan-Euro FBA.

I am considering doing EFN from Germany to other EU countries though so I’ve a few questions:

1) where in Amazon do you go to switch that on? I don’t want to EFN from the UK which is where most of my stock is currently based. So want to make sure I flick the right switch

2) Do EU citizens not in Germany, that buy from Germany pay a higher postage cost? I know there will be additional EFN fees I’ll incur for these customers, I just want to make sure I price accordingly.

3) How are removal orders handled for damaged returns etc? Can you remove to a UK warehouse from Germany? Sounds expensive!

You can find this in your settings and fulfilment by Amazon settings. You need to get Vat registered in Germany to use FBA in Germany and also returns won’t come from Germany to the U.K. you’ll have to set up a forwarding address in the eu to your U.K. address!
