Over the last 14 months I have sold around 100 individual items on eBay, receiving a round £4000, this figure includes postage and packing costs. My question is, am I required to pay tax on the £4000, or are…

Return Refused do I throw it away?
I bought an item from an Ebay seller which after a few days failed so I initiated a return for a refund. I was emailed a prepaid return label so I took the parcel to a post office and got proof of postage. Three days later Ebay issued a refund to my credit card. Today the postman delivered the parcel with a label stating…

Has Royal Mail stopped collection from home?
Whole of last week I had been unable to arrange Royal Mail collection from home. The option isn't there. I thought that was because it was half term and they must have staff shortages. I am trying to arrange collection for tomorrow but the option is still not there. Does anyone know if this is temporary or has RM stopped…

Vinted - Dodgy sellers?
Apologies if this has been posted before, I'm a Newbie (apparently). I, like many others, have opted to use Vinted to buy affordable 2nd hand garments of brands that I would typically not be able to afford if buying new from a retailer. Brilliant concept and I love the items that I've received that are and seem genuine.…

Posting to Jersey
Evening All Please can I have some advice. For the first time in my ebay selling I have sold something to Jersey. I am a private seller. I understand that I need to fill in a CN22 form (the top is about £10) but am unsure about a few points. On the contents section is it "sale of goods" that I tick as it is a sale but I…

Returned to Ebay seller using the label they provided. Tracking just stopped
Hi, can anyone tell me what I do now? I bought a light fitting from a business that sells on ebay. I didn't like it, so requested a return.

My son left his slimline wallet (containing only his bank card and his driving licence) at the hotel he was staying at during a college trip to Los Angeles.

Help thread for 4th Feb 'Buyer protection fee'
I thought that it would be useful to have a new thread just for the buyer protection fee to point any newbies or worried existing users to from the 4th Feb. I am sure that many buyers will be unaware of this change and may post on MSE for clarification, and I also suspect that many private sellers have either not read the…

Ebay Tax Question
My wife had been hoarding yarn (wool for knitting) for the past few years. It was mostly bought from shops in packs of several balls to knit e.g. a sweater. She bought far more than she ever needed as it was retail therapy to help with stress e.g. she'd go to a wool fair with friends and buy with the intention of knitting…
