## Questions

### Am I a private or business seller?

If you buy to resell, make things to sell, or sell regularly as a trade, you are a business seller in law, and eBay’s business fees apply.

### Are optional upgrades still charged?

Yes. Listing upgrades such as a subtitle or promoted listings are paid extras for private sellers too.

### Does HMRC see my eBay sales?

Platforms report sellers above certain thresholds to HMRC. Selling personal possessions for less than you paid is not usually taxable income, but trading is.
