Ebay sales tax.

[_Lee_]

Chaps,

Hope you are well.

If im selling part of my collection do I need to declare it? I'm not selling for profit as per a business seller but just as a hobby.

Any advice appreciated.

Hi Lee, it's a really difficult situation now on eBay. If you sell more than £1000 or more then 30 items it's classed as a business as far as I'm aware. Bloody annoying not 100% sure but it's so difficult now

I thought that but then I saw this:

It would be nice if it was as straight forward as the eBay page makes it look, sadly if you try putting the "Ben from London" example into the online checker you are apparently a sole trader:

Blimey why have kept it to a minimum

It's an absolute minefield, I recently ticked over the £1700 per year limit eBay applies and asked for my NI number. I gave it to them, but won't be selling anything else on there this year. I reckon all these platforms are going to take a massive hit from spooking people like us.

Totally agree I did the same.

I put those details in and got nothing to pay

Ah nice one, maybe I didn't follow it correctly. Seems you are right.

I guess what would become sticky is the definition of a personal posession, if you buy action figures and sell them 3 months later, is that goods or possessions?
