But...</P><P>In the broader sense (i.e. doesn’t have to be related to selling goods), offering a service for money is trading.</P><P>Agreeing to cut your neighbours hedge for a fiver is still trading. It is a “side hustle”.</P><P>You just wouldn’t need to tell HMRC if the total of all your trading within a year were within the permitted allowance (currently still £1000, I believe).</P><P>Offering services for sale on eBay is technically, therefore, always trading, and so anyone doing this should be listed as a business seller. eBay seem to ignore this fact though, as there are a plethora of private sellers openly offering services (like 3d printing).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Choosing to strip a car you own for parts and selling them individually, and getting back, say £500, instead of selling the whole thing for scrap for £20 does not make you a business. Even repairing any parts before selling them doesn’t either. Offering <I>any</I> paid service along with that, does – technically, anyway.</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2025 20:03:21 GMT go_ahead_buy_me 2025-09-16T20:03:21Z
