Ebay And Tax

SOMEONE DIRECT ME IF THERE IS A THREAD ABOUT THIS ALREADY PLEASE :

i was under the impression that as you sell you pay tax .... ?

ive just sold a laptop for £479 ..... i paid £18 (£2 LISTING FEE £16 SELLERS FEE) to ebay and £16 to paypal ..... i posted it this morning and im slightly out of pocket on postage (i knew this)

fairs fair , how much do they want ??? .......... ive heard that the limit is 60 items a year .... i sell that in 6 weeks usually maybe less .

ebay will see decreased profits if this is followed up by the tax man ....

anyone any thoughts ............ thanks

    Limit isn't 60 a year but there is a monetary value think it's about £4,000, do a search as I'm sure this was discussed last week.
    2p off is still 2p off!
