Mentor1 month agoIf you are a small business then you should be registered correctly as a business seller.
”Do you pay tax” If you are earning more than the tax free allowance then yes you pay tax. Ebay require your NI number as they are required to report to HMRC if your transactions exceeded certain figures.
You need to register correctly before ebay get round to blocking you.
