    The job centre might help you with job searches.

    Why can you not apply for JSA and housing benefit if you don't mind me asking

    > I have no income at all

    Why not?
    Because I have no work and no sales on ebay.

    No help. They just send me to search for a job online.

    I've been afraid that they'll take everything else from me and penalize me if I forget to tell them about any ebay sales or some other unexpected income (so I refused to go to my appointment).

    But you haven't sold anything? What could they take from you?

    Probably I've got better parts than original, so at least one problem is gone.

    Nothing has been sold so far.

    Some small savings abroad? Small flat abroad (where I can evacuate when I fail to get any income)?

    No, flat is abroad, I'm here. If I get some from this flat it will be like £50 a month what I will spend on traveling there or related phone calls.
    Or use your savings!
    Yes, it's like £1000 - not even for a month for me.
