For those who didn't get the email (it was in my ebay inbox dated 4th Oct) this is what it said:
User Agreement and Tax Policy UpdatesTogether with PayPal, we’re updating how we process and collect tax. From November 2019, we’re updating the eBay User Agreement and our Tax Policy to reflect this change.
This change affects transactions where we’re required to collect tax in the jurisdiction where the item is being delivered. That includes orders up to AU $1,000 imported to Australia, or exports to certain US states.We’ll continue collecting any required tax from buyers.
You’ll see a change in the PayPal transaction details:
• You’ll receive payment for the gross order amount, including tax.
• Once settled, we’ll automatically deduct the tax amount for remittance.
You can see a record of tax collected from each order in the Seller Hub order details page, or by downloading an order report.
Next StepsYou don’t need to do anything. If you have any questions about tax or how this may affect you, we’d recommend you speak with a tax advisor.

Spring Seller Update, we’re rolling out our new, simplified selling policies this week in the
Help Hub.
