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.

AliExpress Message Center.
Made quite a large order from AliExpress (multiple sellers).

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.
