    Yes I remember that one, I did offer her some that my DD rejected but she wasn't interested...

    Not sure about Froot Loops but my DH would pay £5 for Lucky Charms. It's tragic, but he would. :o

    I've seen PHd level chemistry experiments with shorter ingredient lists than on many cereals! And don't get me started on Clover...

    back on topic though, there is a thriving market for ex-pat consumables, things like HP sauce being sent to Australia and Japan for example. There used to be one seller that would seemingly list every item from Asda and then do a daily shopping trip with a list of sold items to ensure the buyer got the longest possible shelf life.

    I love the way you posted this twice. :p

    Not that it matters to you, since you're so reluctant to do things the right way anyway, but you don't have to pay tax on competiton wins.
    They're counted as gambling profits which is non taxable.

    Not sure about freebies, but I'd assume they're taxable.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    To answer the OP I'm currently selling collectibles on Ebay I buy most of the items I sell either at car boot sales, there's at least one every day of the week round here, or at my local general auction houses. Also I look for job lots on Ebay's 'wholesale and job lots' category.

    Next stage of the business plan is to sell repeating lines (which I guess the OP is trying to find out about) for that I'm a member of a private mailing list which sends out details of suppliers each month. A PM to me would get the details (Hmm wonder if I can get the writer to pay me commission on anyone I pass onto him ?).

    I also sell books on Amazon and have a private deal with a book dealer, I sell his books and we divide the profits after all expenses.

    To answer the other posters yes HMRC are aware of what I do, I also claim working tax credit from them as it's become a full time, work from home job as it's better than being on the dole.
