Can someone elaborate (and hopefully in plain English), on what the difference is for seller to become a business seller...
I've held an 'Above Standard' rating for over a year (I'm not a SW seller BTW, just regularly churn through old books, clothes brick-a-brack etc.) and whenever I look at my Seller rating page eBay are suggesting that I join the Business Seller ranks.
Now to be clear, I only sell my own old gubbins, I do not buy to sell and therefore I immediately think being a business sounds wrong... my sales simply are not a business.
However, if I'm reading it right, there is a 10% discount on final valuation fees each month for all Top Rated sellers. It also appears that you cannot be a Top Rated Seller without being a business seller. Do you have to pay other fees to be a business seller and does taking this status mean that you will be creating a taxable record too?
Thoughts?
Is there a real benefit?
Anyone on here registered as a business seller?
