Hi there

It is fine to sell a few unwanted items on e-bay, so long as the amounts are modest and are genuinely being used to buy replacement clothing. Seems like a very good idea to me!

Dear all,

I sell some of the used things on ebay for my wife and children and the money is given to them I hope this is ok,as my wife is not in IVA and the things were baught with house keeping money.

Any such proceedings is given to them.

Thanks.

Hara.

Don't think there's any problem trading on ebay.... good way to make a few extra pounds and paypal is as good a place to hold a few pounds for transfer on a rainy day as any where else.... if you can get it up to £50 it's free to transfer to your bank account, although it can take 7 days to get there.

This is absolutely fine and you are free to sell any of your unwanted items on ebay. However, if you begin to buy items with the intention of then selling them you will be considered a trader and therefore have to pay tax on the proceeds of this and declare it as an income to your IP.

I buy and sell on e'bay quite a lot, I only use 'Paypal' and I never draw the money out, I sell until I have a decent 'Paypal' balance, then I buy something I really need, it was a great way to buy Xmas presents.
It's far less stressful than buying on credit cards.

I use e-bay quite a bit, selling bits I don't need anymore, and buying things in their place. I agree with the posters above, so long it is modest and there is no motive to make a profit, then I can't see a problem.

Obviously, if you were to sell something substantial (i.e. a collection of rare magazines, raising £1,000) then I would imagine that would be a windfall.
