Everything I keep reading about recent ebay changes seem to be based on "encouraging" private sellers to change to business accounts.
This is obvious with the waiting 2 days for payment and new "simple" postage options just aimed at private accounts, as business accounts are not being forced into them.
I am selling a lifetimes worth of collecting as due to health issues i will need to move to a bungalow in the near future. I AM NOT a business as all the items i sell are my own and none were originally purchased to re-sell. If I were to change to a business account, I presume I would then have to complete a tax return and to do that I would need to indicate my profits. Some of the items I am selling I have had since I was a schoolboy (I am in my early 60's now) and have no idea what they cost me, so how can I say what (if any) profit I have made???
Not every private seller is a business masquerading as a private seller. Some obviously are (selling new items and multiples of them) so why don't ebay just target them first??
