Request To Sell Alcohol

[go-whites]

Hi 

I’m trying to apply for an approval to sell alcohol however the form eBay has doesn’t allow me to upload the premises licence and also doesn’t allow me to proceed without a VAT registration. We don’t have to register for VAT as we have not reached the threshold yet. Any help is appreciated.

This is one of those issues that only ebay can help with.

Although it doesn't say so on the policy page, perhaps ebay requires VAT registration in order to become authorised?  Either because they think it's synonymous with 'business' or  because they think it provides an extra level of verification.   

I can't think why they would have it on the form otherwise, as a VAT registered seller would have it in their account details already.
