Really fed up with "private" sellers

Ok, sorry, I thought I had read that business sellers got volume discounts on their FVF's and Paypal rates.

So whats the point of a business account then or is it just for tax, etc ?

The only point is I am forced to have one as I am a business (sole trader but same thing). I'm caught really, if I sold more, or kept up my current level of activity for longer then I would get power seller status again and could benefit from a reduction in my FVFs, however the line I am currently selling is already grinding to a halt, I can sell a dozen or more a day but I can no longer get the stock as there is just not enough to go round all the sellers. So i'll sink back to selling the few odds and ends I can source, until the next big thing comes along that I can locate before my competitors.

As a business woman I'm pretty rubbish at telling what the next big thing is, and even If I could guess I probably couldn't source it quick enough.

Yeah, I normally spot the next big thing about 4 years after it has happened

Much respect though - I would love to do it professionally... maybe one day when I'm less risk adverse.

I don't do this 'professionally' I have a couple of day jobs as well. The ebay just pays for the holidays, although this year it is likely to be Spain rather than The Caribbean. :rotfl:

As for arriving late, remember the craze for those wrist bands? My stock arrived just as everyone started to give them away free..

Off topic I know, but soolin, I always thought you a man!!!!!! (no offence) Thats why I like non-descript user ids like yours, you just never know who your talking to & can build up a picture of them in your head.

(very much OT)....I think Soolin sounds a bit like a name for a panda.
