Do I need a UK VAT number to use FBA from Ireland
Hello, I’m a new seller and am somewhat overwhelmed with the FBA process. I am based in Ireland and want to sell across Europe. I read somewhere that I need a UK VAT number in order to send and store my products there. Is that true? What other options are there for an Irish seller selling in Europe?
Also, I note that I have to manually add my products to each marketplace which seems crazy. Is there a better way to do it, maybe using spreadsheet?
Any help and advice appreciated for an Irish novice.

No unfortunately within the EU - (including the UK) you must register for VAT in any country other than your country of residence if you store stock there.

If by Ireland, you mean Eire, then yes, to store stock in the UK, you need to be VAT registered.
If NI, then no.
You can add products via file upload. But to be honest, unless you are fairly experienced with that kind of thing, then you will probably find it harder to do.
Have you registered as a business seller?
