IPA - Selling items

Options
My mum is down sizing,  moving home and asked if I could sell some of her items on eBay (she hats the internet, refuses to have broadband)

She knows I have an ebay account, if I agree, this will look suspect on my bank account.

Im already 1 year into an IPA..

Should I just say I can't?

Thoughts.

Thanks

    Hi there

    I don't know why it would look suspicious - presumably you would just be selling items on her behalf then paying any money raised from them back her? If anyone questioned the transactions on your bank statements you'd only need to tell them the truth.

    Keep a paper trail 
  • Just make a new ebay/paypal account for her. You can access it for admin purposes but it's not your cash. Get it linked to her bank account not yours.
