    I do because I am fed up of "private" sellers (who probably aren't registered for tax) clogging up the pages with their 99p crap that no-one wants to buy, making it harder for buyers to find our items.
    (Not having a go at real private sellers of course :) ) OP, there isn't a proper category so I choose: listing policy breaches> other> business seller fails to display correct details. (something like that anyway- can't remeber the real wording)


    I agree if I stick to the rules so should others far as I am concerned. I dont see it as stitching up as some muppet said earlier. Its more stupid I think to believe that these little things don't matter. I don't go out of my way to report people but if I come across breaches I happily will. If people are trying to hide from the tax man they deserve anything thats coming to them

    How do you know they are a business and not a private seller. Is it because they have a lot for sale? I have a lot for sale at the moment, but only because I hoping to move house soon......

    they have a lot of either the same items or similar stuff, majority of which is custom made and brand new which is obviously to make a profit out of.

    Is there an option to report business sellers ? I'm tired of searching for 99p crap (I mean bargins) and finding all of these listings priced several times at what the item is worth...

    Hi!

    I was just wondering how you report sellers who are blatantly a business but are on a privet account.

    No because we're doing nothing wrong, and our prices might be higher because we pay tax :p You can search for only private/business sellers, but normal buyers won't bother.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    It's in the refine search bar along the side. The last option before preferences is seller (should be anyway) open that and it'll let you exclude sellers and seller types :)

    Loooooosssssers.

    I couldn't care less about private sellers making a few quid. It has no impact on my business and my 25% discount.
