HI Giovanni

You will have to provide more information regarding the "stuff " eg home grown vegetables.....hand made pottery.....unwanted personal possessions ?

here's what I know:

if you sell your item, and you did not make a profit or you made a loss, that's fine, IF you can produce a receipt for the cost.

If you made a profit, that's income, so you have to report it. I see some people thinking that if it's 'infrequent' it's ok to just forget about it.....bad idea.

Be prepared to show the cost, if you made a profit, in the form of receipts. What I do when selling some of my items: if I can't produce a receipt that shows cost, because for example I bought the item ten years ago and who knows where's the receipt, then I declare the ENTIRE sum as profit, no matter that I paid for it.

Then no one can accuse me of fraud. If you are asked for receipts by either the DWP or HMRC and you haven't got them: bad idea.

Hi Giovanni,

I was asked about my ebay transactions just this week! Selling and buying - what items, and why. My sales for the year were £189, and my purchases £281.
