But at least from a German (EU) view the problems remain, unfortunately, exist.
At the current date symbiostock-network.com also is a solution for the technical issues.
Unfortunately, the vat problems can not be solved as in the conventional agencies.
In German view, it is VAT regardless when you have your own Symbistock-Website or you are with symbiostock-network.com customer.
In both cases you have to settle and pay VAT for every single buyer that comes from the EU.

Because in view of law symbistock-network.com ist not an Agency but only a Broker.
If is a Agency i have only  one contract as contributor with symbiostock-network.com/agency.
And because it is a non EU-Company i have to pay non VAT!

Reasons why it is only a broker:

1. There is no written contract between contributor and symbistock-network.com about licensing.
2. Contributors can have contact to the buyers.
3. Enduser license agreement can be created by contributor.

These are then all notes for this that it is not an agency.

Do not get me wrong I not see it this way but the law.
With a proper agency solution everything would be much easier for the europeans.
Then we can Symbiostock supply  with the same expense as the Big 4.
