    Plus if OP is not a business seller, they can get around the Distance Selling Regs so buyers rights are reduced?
    At the risk of dogpiling you, OP is by definition a business seller and would be responsible for that.

    Even if she were only selling one item, she is trading, so she is a business regardless of volume.

    Thanks for replies. I was just curious how it would work, and why you would let someone else get a cut for what looks like not too much input.

    Pure speculation but if the original seller was say a high street name, and they had been forced to take items that they wouldn't normally sell and have no expertise in (maybe as part of a barter deal) then employing someone else to sell the items for whatever profit they can, without the original company's name being associated with the product in any way.

    For all we know it might be Sir Alan selling off some of the 'products' his apprentices have come up with. :rotfl:
