Selling on eBay and money in PayPal

Hi all,
I’ve sold some stuff on eBay to the total of £91 and have the money sitting in PayPal. I’m a discharged BR and have an IPA in place but pay nothing to it anymore due to my circumstances.
Do I need to to inform the OP about this as it could be classed as extra earnings?

Hi,
Personally I wouldn't see selling your own stuff that were not classed assets in bankruptcy as income to be considered in an IPA.

If this is just household belongings and the money will be used for other general household belongings, (rather than a business and £91 is a weekly/daily occurrence,) I wouldn't worry about it.Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

I sold enough stuff on ebay to pay for my BR fees - several hundred pounds. The OR never said a word and the paypal payments were clearly shown on all my bank statements. I really don't think you have anything to worry about. I didn't give details of my paypal account to the OR simply because it never occurred to me that I should - I didn't think of it as a bank account as such. Like I say - there were loads of paypal transactions on my banks statements and the Or never mentioned it once.0
