just seen this on ebay

Post by celerycelery »

This is what ebay are saying bout possible forthcoming strikes : We’ve expressed our concerns directly to the business secretary The Rt. Hon Lord Mandelson that it is unacceptable many hard-working small business owners selling on eBay are victims of a dispute that is beyond their control.

What the hell is that twat going to do...total tosser of the highest order.

You hae a point here.

Why is it that selling goods on ebay incurs no income tax charge or VAT? All you do is pay a fee to ebay who are based in Luxembourg.

Surely sellers on ebay should be paying tax.

I think you will find the majority of sellers (now mostly small businesses) have to be Vat registered with eBay.

That will be useful for a long meeting with Adam and Dave and co. As long they are locked in with the pie and water and no bed. As it will be a long time before they get a solution.
