Nah its jsut everytime there is an ebay thread by a seller or buyer saying they are having a problem, its always the other sides fault.

Yeah, I get your point but have you actually read all the messages sent back and forth, fairly sure i've done everything to the letter.

At £500 profit i'm fairly sure any tax i'd have to pay would be pretty low

Which implies you're not paying any. I'd get that sorted or it could get painful ...

You're returning the postage as well?

Hats off to you, most sellers do not return the cost of postage when sending an item back.

I'd expect it if I bought something and had to return it without any fault of my own so only decent I do the same thing

Think you are doing more than most and a lot more than he deserves.

Ebay, like anywhere, is full of idiots

Too many times has this happened to me. Jackasses spend a lot of something cheap and then few days later when they realised they've over paid they want there money back!

True, the penalties are more

What gets on my **** is when buyers cant be arsed to give feedback!

ive had 2 buyers who i have sold things too with great service , they were both collection only.

Ive help them with directions and so on yet i give them great feedback so why cant they be bothered to give me feedback?????

I know its a choice thing but is it really that hard to do!

For eBay I take a picture of the item before putting it in the packaging, one after and one as I'm handing it over to the courier or at the post office. this ensures I have evidence that they item was packed and posted in pristine condition so if a penis gobbler decides to get shirty then they back down immediately!

Ive only sold a few things on ebay but the first 2 items i sold never had feedback left. I now state on my adverts that i will only leave feedback upon receipt of feedback from the buyer. Never had a problem since.

It's building though, I did it for fun from last october and it's just grown. People will sell collections of 50-250 comics at an average of 25p-40p per comic, I buy, split and sell seperately from 99p each, it takes ages to list but if I can get to a good enough point, maybe be self employed at it within a few years.

I thought you could earn up to £3.5k a year tax free :confused:

You can request the buyers phone number using the ebay system.

My full time job pays £21k so i'm not sure how it works.

Can I actually register myself as a business while in full time employment?

I'm honestly not sure of the law in this area, although my work T&C say I can't run a business outside of work.

I never leave feedback until it's been received by the buyer. Also as a seller you are unable to leave negative comments which is simply retarded, for example my situation I feel the buyer needs at least a neutral for poor conduct.

Just had an email from Paypal,

Done some research, if you earn £100k a year or less than the maximum personal allowance is £7,475

So yes the money you earn on the side doesn't need to be taxed.

I sell on eBay, and yes, quite a few buyers are retards. I actually had one bloke threatening me down the phone, and threatened to come down there and kick my head in because I hadn't sent his items. He hadn't paid for them. I never received the cheque he supposedly sent, nor was it cashed into the bank. Doesn;t matter how many times I told him this. Lived scotland. Yes, hes going to drive all this way over a £1.59 set of dremel discs. Retarded.

Yes, you can run your own business and have another job. I do. Though you are best of speaking to an accountant.
