Digital tax report law for u18
I am now in the threshold where I have to enter my nin to withdraw payments. I have an nin but I am under 18. If I put my info in will they ban my account?

Mentor8 months agoYou haven't told us your username as a seller, so I imagine you're well aware that you're not allowed to trade here aged under 18.
The correct advice - which I suspect you may not be keen to follow - is to 'fess up to your parents or guardians, and get them to contact eBay to sort it out.
How close to 18 are you? You've showed so much enterprise that it would be a shame to get a lifetime ban from selling before you've even started correctly! You probably can't even use the regular procedure to close your account while the difficulty of making withdrawals continues.
I take it you don't have anyone chasing you for payments or refunds, because if so the situation would be very different? If you have a clean trading record I can't help wpndering - and I'm certainly not suggesting this - what what would happen if you just let things lie dormant until you're 18, when you may be able to resolve it yourself.

Mentor8 months agoPut your NINO in so that you can get paid, then close the account or, if close to 18, just leave it for a while. I'd probably use it to buy something after 6 month just to keep it active.

·8 months agoYou are not allowed to have an account and should cancel any items you have listed and close your account.
If or when Ebay realise you are under 18, they will close your account and may ban you from ever having an Ebay account in the future.
I don't know if there is a way for you to put this right, especially as you are clearly aware that you are underage to have an Ebay account.
