Not sure how it works if you were paying it in your day job. Also not sure what you mean about paying it on your Ebay.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was , when I was employed I was paying national insurance, the payroll deducted it from my wage slip and also I was self employed doing Ebay. I also got charged national insurance for earning off ebay too.
Now I don't have a day job and can't claim JSA or any benefits, I want to make sure I am paying enough on my stamp.

Thanks for the link.
I think I will have to persevere and keep ringing them.

When I had a job I paid NI and also through being self-employed I paid a quarterly bill. Now I am doing eBay only I just pay the quarterly bill - although like you TMD I could be exempt. My little eBay business was a hobby until Dec when I had to leave work funding cuts) and now I am giving it a shot as a proper full time business. Ebay is slow at the moment but any sale is good as we are desparate for the money! I can't find a part-time job and have sent off so many cv's that I am concentrating on Ebay now.

Thanks to whoever suggested it was a good idea for fitness DVDs, put a random one I got free on that had been sitting on the shelf for years and it has a bid so it's on it's way out the house - perfect.

Have 2 piles for ebay this weekend, one if it's free listing and one if it's not!

CompletelyLost, I would also just relist it in a free weekend, or maybe tell him £20 with collection only if the item was a bit big or heavy.

About no bidders, I am waiting until the end of the month and use pay day to my advantage. I will relist if it is free, maybe starting the bid later and not immediately if this is also free of charge (I've never done it), but I want my items to end the 5th or 6th of February.

binnie, do you really need a business account on eBay? Are you selling new stuff or re-selling things? Can't you just sell your own bits in a personal account? I kind of feel that you would be better off with the benefit that relying on eBay for the time being, unless you do get a regular income from it. A profit of £448 after fees is only £38 a month, and the £65 a week just makes sense. Check online if there is any chance that you could get any other benefits or reliefs whilst you find a new job.

I know there is a way to pay NI directly, like some people living abroad, but not sure how, sorry

Wow Kashton - £823 in one month is fantastic!!! I'm up at £135 right now and have another £120 in BIN left. Need to find more things this weekend to sell. It's people like you who really get me motivated and what a wonderful idea to use the money for a well-deserved holiday!

Just received a request 'will you end auction early and accept a buy it now price' for an item I have listed - but their BIN price is less than I have listed the item for! Seems a cheek to me
