I have not received any selling incentives for about 6 months. Friends and family who are private sellers have received a pig with various offers e.g. £1 max selling fees etc. I used to receive offers but now don't. Any idea why?
Perhaps Ebay discovered you were defrauding them of fees and breaking the law - looking at what you've sold in the past, you should be registered as a business seller. Anyone who makes, grows, refurbishes, or buys in (new or used) items to sell, is a business and must be registered as such. Not only an Ebay requirement but the law. Private accounts are only for those selling off their old no-longer-wanted possessions.
For confirmation, go to Ebay's Seller Centre. For full information, go to the government's website. And note that there is no such thing as a 'hobby seller' in this country, and how much or how little you sell or make is totally irrelevant.
