If they have, please can you show me an article saying they and every other OECD…

Is it possible to sell on Ebay for profit and just let Ebay deduct tax at standard rate from all sales. Just like they make all other deductions? Or is that too easy? Does it have to involve 1000000 hours of tax payers money to calculate tax annually at £23.08

EBay keep defaulting to recommended price
I haven’t used EBay to sell anything for years. I’m trying to create a new listing but it keeps suggesting starting the auction at a ridiculously low price. When I try to alter that, and no matter how much I toggle on/off the ‘auction’ and ‘buy it now’ options, once I hit preview it always goes back to the recommended…

Item Not As Described ...
So I'd been looking on ebay for some desktop lamps, and saw some very nice tiffany style animal lamps - there were quite a few sellers with the same range, same pictures, and mostly all were Chinese sellers.
