    Will there be any extra costs incurred by buying from Amazon UK for example?

    At the moment it's better for us as Sterling has dropped in value.
    In 2 years time it will probably work out cheaper to buy from amazon in germany (for example) as there will/may be Import Taxes due if buying from the UK as they will be outside of the EU Zone.

    Unless of course there are special exemptions put in place to allow the UK to continue trading with EU Countries. As they are the first Country to leave the EU nobody knows how this will pan out.

    There won't be an issue with Amazon direct as they'll have systems in place to manage it, but third party sellers and smaller websites will have an issue as they would have to attach commercial invoices & taric codes and delivery companies would have to do customs entry.

    I reckon there will be a uk election early next year and labour (with new leader) will win with promise of new referendum and everything will go back to normal.

    They will get a big concession - there will still be free movement of people, but for a stay over 3 months you must have a job pre-arranged and no social welfare payments could be claimed unless you are 6months working.

    That assumes alot of things,
    including that 26 EU countrys give the OK to stop the exit and allow the UK back in,

    In the meantime the markets will be all over the place
