Can VAT be charged for Paypal (or any other online system) payments received from Non-EU?

[Nivis]

I receive payments from non-EU customers online by cards to Paypal account. Then funds are withdrawn to Cyprus bank account. Goods are purchased from Hong Kong and China, shipped directly to customers to Non-Eu countries. I do not pay any VAT because goods are shipped from third country to non-EU countries. But paypal is company registered in EU, so can tax authorities state that I must pay VAT from all payments I get from Paypal system to my bank account, even though payment origin is Non-EU country and VAT must not be applied?

You need to setup a system to avoid the VAT or to do proper accounting.
