Business seller??? to be or not to be

[billnben1986]

Hi all

I had a thingy about the up sides of being a business seller. Clearly there is money in it for ebay or they wouldn't be making it look so cosy.

Now,I sell a bit. I am generally selling something or a few things, not hundreds.... do you think it's a good idea to be a business seller as opposed to a 'sort of ' seller.?

What are the ups? In a nutshell? I read the blurb and it ll seems like you just pay more. Maybe I read it wrong but I would love people's opinions.

Quite fancy one of those hold your own freestanding chip n pin things though!

Any thoughts, my dears?

BTW I am Bill as in Blinda as in Bellinda. My partner is Ben. So you will talking to a female of the species !

Technically if you buy or make to sell then you are a business seller

Morally, well...

If you buy or make items to sell, you are a business seller.

If you are only selling your own personal no longer wanted items, you are a private seller.

It is that simple.

If You are a business seller , your customers have greater rights , namely the right of return under the Distance selling regulations

When I see "private " sellers with thousands of feedback , and hundreds of things on ebay , I tend to think of them as underhand and shifty .

 Likewise when I see sellers asking for cash on collection , I think , "tax evaders "

 And any "private " listing , is either stolen goods , or some tax evader trying to hide beneath the radar , like a modern day rattle snake
