Selling your own personal possesions.
How many of your 248 items were new, or different size or different gender, Or multiple of teh same items?
Its obvious some sellers are a business, I try to avoid them and purchase from genuine sellers listed correctly.
If i get any issues with them i will use that info to my advantage.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

Then that constitues a private seller.
However on ebay who knows :eek: I have several competitors in the antique and collectable sections that are blatantly businesses, they show a shop logo, they talk about having bought these items from auction to resell etc, yet they remain private sellers.
On the other hand I've seen true private sellers fall foul of ebay and get forced to upgrade. Selling second hand clothes does seem to be one category that ebay do monitor more than others.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

If you are only selling your own belongings, then you are fine. I have sold many items over the years, and never had a problem. Its normal that a household can have a lot of items, and depending if you are more active or less the amount of sold items on ebay can vary a lot!0
