    I am doing well at the moment on ebay and have registered as self employed as I don't have an income (oh works) I won't pay tax until I have made over £5000 net profit. It was very easy to register and I am hoping my paperwork is good enough. Small price to pay for piece of mind. It is a lifeline at the moment as OH has had his hours cut, but I am not expecting it to last.

    It would have been very funny if Moglex was wrong... but... I think sceptical is the english spelling. Skeptical doesn't appear in my dictionary.

    Edit: this thread moves too fast :(
    Edit: or maybe I wasn't on the last page ;)
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    No, it was my fault. In the cold light of morning it just wasn't funny.

    Walking round a car boot sale last weekend I can well believe people can make money out of ebay. There was a lot of junk but also quite al ot of good stuff going for silly prices. PS2 games going for a couple of pound (without haggling) that you could easily get at least a fiver for on ebay, stamp collections, records etc. Would take someone more motivated than myself to be bothered with all of that though.

    I'm sure you do, on the other hand there are people that get caught the 1st year, don't forget as well that the IR say that most people they catch are actually turned in by friends/neighbours or aquintances.

    While on the subject may I please remind all users that this is a money saving site, not a site for crooks and any posts advocating fraud or illegal acts will be removed.

    In that case they will probably find the bill quite extensive when they do get caught.
