If it is worrying you, or you sell a lot of second hand stuff one time, why don't you ask a friend of relative if you can transfer the money to their bank account.
All you have to do is add another account to your Pay-pal details and then you select that account for withdrawing to.

BiB, why are you advising/encouraging fraud, which is what this would be? You cannot syphon income into another account to stay eligible for benefits.

How is it fraud, the OP is selling a few bits of unwanted second hand items. You are allowed to sell you own goods and shackles without being answerable to the DWP.
What about people who are on benefits who pawn their stuff for extra cash to pay their bills, are they supposed to declare that.
I am not talking about money laundering drugs money, just a few quid into a family members account to stop her worrying about it. How ridiculous! :rotfl:

I am sure it's not going to run into thousands, E Bay is no money making place now, the big companies have muscled in.
It's all very well to make remarks about being above board, but these are times of hard ship, many people have to do what they need to to get by. If you have to heat your home and don't have the money, then selling a few bits on an auction site is no big deal. Sometimes we have to turn a blind eye to little misdemeanour's.
Lets face it if the Government allowed Starbucks to dictate how much tax they want to pay, a few quid on E bay is no big deal.
Dunroamin; I am assuming that your comment was meant for me, even though you quoted the wrong comment. I see no reason why my profession has any baring on this post, if you feel the need to continually follow me around the forum having digs at me, feel free, but I should warn you, that I can do exactly the same thing. Merry Christmas.

How silly you make your self look.
At least I don't pretend to be super virginal white as white then stab people in the back. I may be no angel, but I don't claim to be. Unlike some on here who say one thing then do something else behind closed doors. Hypocrites.
