Reduce Buy It Now not Retaining

[karlsonlaith]

I am having an absolute nightmare reducing the price of one of my items.

The item has a price of £16.99 currently, and I would like to reduce it to £13.99.

Each time I revise the listing, and enter the new lower price, and then preview or submit, the price is still £16.99, and my changes aren't retained.

I have tried on both mobile and PC, and nothing works.

I don't have any offers on the products either (I saw this was a common reason).

Any help would be much appreciated - I want to avoid creating a new listing.

You have revised postage several times on 30th May, so that's not the issue.

I suspect you are trying to lower the price for 1 item to below the multiple price,

have you revised all prices?

You must also correctly register as abusiness before ebay suspend you.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to be clear, I file a Self Assessment each year through HMRC with my personal income anyway, but there is this excerpt from the gov.uk website that is in contradiction with your advice:

When you need to set up as a sole trader

You need to set up as a sole trader if any of the following apply:

• you earned more than £1,000 from self-employment between 6 April 2020 and 5 April 2021
• you need to prove you’re self-employed, for example to claim Tax-Free Childcare
• you want to make voluntary Class 2 National Insurance payments to help you qualify for benefits

Given that my 12 months revenue has only been £400, I can't see how I am expected to set up a business account yet?

Regardless, I was unable to find how to set up as a Sole Trader (do you know how this could be done)? I don't think setting up an LLC and paying accountancy fees will leave me with any profit at all...
