Ebay says they notify hmrc when a private seller passes £135 in sales. Makes no sense to me.

An ebay advisor just told me that they notify hmrc once a private seller has sold £135 worth of their own goods. Anyone else aware of this dribble?

£135 is the limit for imports after which you pay duty.    eBay report to HMRC if your total sales on eBay exceed £1740, after fees or if you complete 30 or more sales transactions on eBay.

£135 is not quite correct

But it has been publicised
