Which online marketplace has the best seller protection, or where to sell a single jacket or two?
I quit ebay a couple of years ago after a couple of horrible item not as described experiences where the buyer was clearly being disingenuous.

How to sort eBay buy-it-now items by real price?
So tired of eBay price spammers! I need to buy a new item, let's say a phone case. There are no auctions, only buy-it-now listing, each with variable prices from 0.99 to 9.99.

New HMRC rules re sites automatically declaring income
It looks like there may be tweaks to the reporting system from next year with sites like eBay etc automatically reporting all income from users to HMRC. At the moment it is apparently only on request. Obviously this only affects people who receive more than £1000 per annum and can’t show it is private goods being sold…

UK Vat Registered Business Selling overseas VAT Charged?
It's not been easy to clarify this with ebay. If you are a UK Vat registered business and you list an item that this purchased overseas, why would Ebay generate VAT on the customer invoice. Seems to happen on some invoices and not others. Could anyone advise?

Listed as "used", description reads "selling as spares or repair", arrived broken
