A bit advice on behalf of a friend who has a business account on Ebay where she is looking at ways to reduce turnover to keep under the VAT threshold .
She sells a lot of ites where the postage can amount to 20 - 25% of the items value and in doing so the turnover mounts up but the profits do not , last year she spent £5000 on postage.
If she was to use Ebays simple delivery service would this help keep the turnover down as the buyer from what I can gather pays the postage directly to ebay or does it still have to be accounted for ?
