Item that should not be subject to VAT | Help Among Users

Hello. In Spain, collectibles and antiques, even if purchased from non-EU countries, are exempt from VAT. However, eBay withholds VAT from me as shown on the pro forma invoice. My question is: isn’t there a way to avoid, for this type of items, eBay’s VAT withholding NOT being applied to the buyer?? Ebay insists on charging that VAT to the buyer, but if customs aren’t going to request it, how do I get it back?? Thanks. eBay have not been able to answer my question. Regards.
