Ok so you’re a self inflicted outlier. That’s fine.

That is always the case with these kind of scam listings that have been going on for at least a decade. A tell-tale sign is that suddenly the seller starts selling completely different items. Nothing new here really.

Yeah easily 10+ years same thing.
And they are so strict with new sellers, ban legitimate sellers and freeze their accounts. So its not like they are loose with the rules. They just don't care to do it right.

Once you add the newly required taxes and fees, its about 25%. Better to not sell on Ebay unless you absolutely have to.

Nah you just have to know how to play it. I've sold 700 items on eBay with no problems at all. If you list on certain days and stick around for the offers you hardly pay anything. I don't have access to another market I can get a return on that is as good including all the appropriate charges.

Typical example is I sell something for £500, I pay £20 on charges and charge the buyer for the courier. Problem? Add £20 to the asking price!

Yeah my mistake, YOU don't pay taxes but the buyer has to. So they are actually paying £600 for your item right (20% tax)?

No. There's no taxes on private sales at least here. Unless you exceed your capital gains limit and that's up to you to declare.
