    But then if selling on eBay, then surely selling on a car boot sale is the same.?

    So he got his revenge.

    He printed a list of all the seller's items that sold.

    He printed off the seller's name and address.

    And he posted them to the Inland Revenue.

    Given the hundreds of items this person sold for £1 - £5 plus postage, and I mean HUNDREDS, he will have fun computing his tax liability to the Inland Revenue.

    I doubt the IR would be interested.
    If this bloke is a proper trader, using ebay as a business, he will have his accounts in order anyway. It would be nothing to print off a list of sold items.
    Ebay even provide traders with software to collate all sales figures for you.
    If only everything in life was as reliable...AS ME !!
