Retention of a purchase by customs | Submission

I bought an item for less than €150 in the United Kingdom and I’ve just received a registered notice from Correos Customs saying that they have the purchase held and that I have 5 days to send them proof of purchase or invoice and proof of payment.On the other hand, they tell me that there are platforms (I think eBay will be one of them) where VAT is settled at source and AETA is informed beforehand, which will make the process easier.Please, can you tell me what I should do? How am I supposed to proceed?Thank you very much.
