sorted byAnything over £25 then yes it is better than 80%. Below it isn't.
I have put a picture of the chart up that someone once made on HUKDs (edited)
If all you're doing is selling goods online, firms will ONLY pass on data to HMRC automatically if you're selling 30 or more items a year OR have total earnings over the equivalent of €2,000 (currently around £1,700)
I sold a gaming laptop that was used and had no warranty for £700. Three weeks after purchasing it, the buyer messaged me to say that the trackpad keys were sticky and wanted to return it. Knowing how eBay works and that they will ALWAYS side with the buyer, I accepted it. Low and behold when the laptop got back to me, there wasn't an issue with the keys at all. He had basically made it up. So he got to use the laptop probably every day for 3 weeks or more and then had a change of heart about keeping it.
I also recently sold my work laptop, which again was used and out of warranty. The buyer received it and left me nice feedback a day later to say that the item was great and so was my service in general etc. Then two days after that he then suddenly opens up a return case and sends photo's showing the display having multiple lines in it, basically the type you normally see once a laptop has been dropped or bashed. Now, maybe the issue did suddenly occur randomly. It can happen. But isn't that the risk you take buying second hand items? If you want piece of mind of warranty and the seller makes it clear he offers none, go and buy brand new so you can take it up with the manufacturers. So again I'm going to be out of pocket. Regardless of what I say, eBay will force me to refund.
Unless you have money to burn, it's just not worth the hassle. You have to spend an entire 30 days hoping the buyer doesn't break or damage something expensive, in which he will pass the blame on to you and eBay will simply take their word as gospel, or hoping they don't use it for X amount of days and then decide to return it just because they can.

If you do make a profit on your old stuff then 1) it would be difficult to prove how much you originally paid for that item, making calculating the profit impossible and 2) if you make profit on something you've had for years, I think that would more likely come under Capital Gains Tax, for which there is a much higher threshold.
I believe they are specifically targeting people who buy to sell thus making an income, who then should be paying income tax.
It does however look like they want people who have Sales of more than £1k to do a self assessment regardless of if you are trading or just selling old stuff.
Can you imagine giving an auction house a Vintage Omega Seamaster watch to sell, for them to list it in the catalogue without even mentioning it's a Vintage Omega Seamaster?
As a buyer, that is a different story. Probably about 1 in 30ish were people selling me duff stuff.
I thought I read on one of the news articles about this was that HMRC had a whole twenty odd staff set up to deal with this, can't see them making much progress with us ordinary folks. (edited)
"Unfortunately, this promotional offer is not available to you."
Unfortunately, then, eBay, I won't be selling with you until I am!
The rules for declaring to HMRC is you are trading & making a profit over £1k. Simple as that.
I get this for every single one of these 'limited to some account' eBay offers... any ideas why?
I don't get the £1 offer anymore at all after I sold a couple items last year, only 80% + 30p.
Check the 80/70% offers instead. (edited)
But now nothing in the last year.
I’m convinced they have my house bugged. (edited)
Really needed one as i wanted to sell my playstation 5. Anybody know how much they will roughly charge me for selling an item like this for around £400-450?
Thanks
