Since when have eBay been reporting and how can you see what they have told HMRC ???

There was a lot of hullabaloo earlier this year about eBay and the online platforms such as Vinted, Etsy etc being mandated to tell HMRC how much stuff that an account sold.

Is there a way to find out what they told HMRC? 
Is there a way to see what eBay etc say is your total sales? 
If so how is that broken down?  Do they break it down when they tell HMRC? 
Were they telling HMRC prior to this tax year?
Will they part report Jan 1 2024 > 5 April 2024 (i..e the part of the tax year they were mandated to report?

TIA

No idea.   But someone on the ebay board might know....

Does that mean you wish to report something different?

I suggest you ask eBay.

Absolutely not.  I'd just like to know what they report about me to see if their number(s) and my own records tally in terms of the fees they report - for example do they just report gross sales and fees?
