Couriers legal responsibilitie

I sell only my own assets at a loss, but more than 30 per year. Do I need to tell HMRC?
I am a very active ebayer. Everything I buy for myself or home will usually end up on ebay once I'm done with it. Electronics, homeware, clothing - if it's worth selling then I'll sell it. 95% of what I sell is used goods of my own which I sell at a loss compared to what I paid for it, with the occasional 'profit' sale of…

AliExpress Message Center.
Made quite a large order from AliExpress (multiple sellers). Not bought anything from them for over 2 years and noticed almost every order had a message about changing the order and to leave a note to the seller but changes cannot be guaranteed. Is this an automated thing from AliExpress? Using Chrome on a PC and I have…

Should I let buyer send a courier?
I’ve sold a picture for £100, said collection only or I could deliver locally. Buyer has paid and has 100% positive feedback, but says they want to arrange a courier to come to my house to collect at their expense. I think I saw something once saying this is a red flag, but I’m tempted to say yes. What should I do?
