This is an interesting question as I sell my old bits on ebay and some months have made a fair bit if selling a few dvd`s or my PS2 and I rarely pay my paypal money in to the bank account but wondered how you would declare it when its such random amounts, eg one month could earn £80 and another month could earn 80p, its very confusing!

If it's your own personal stuff you're selling, you don't have to declare it. But if you go buy stuff to sell at a profit, you do as that is being a business.

Conor I am so entitled to IB, with permitted work. I am very lucky if I make £10 a month so erm think I might need to keep on claiming Barcode ! LOL

No problem in that case. You didn't give us a lot of information to go on so I had to put in some assumptions.

If you don't tell the whole story, you can't expect people to give full help.;)

yes very true, sorry. My head is such a muddle this week, I should have gone away and thought it through properly, then posted more fully. I registered with the tax people because I wanted to be honest and legal, but it's got more complicated now we are on benefits. I think its time to give up ebay, isnt worth the worry. Many thanks to all who posted x
