Default Ebay is closing!

Apparently the government has passed a bill to get Ebay banned from this country as it is apparently costing the inland revenue a fortune in lost revenue

Yeh they will tax ebay of course, they run a business, so they are entitled to tax ebay.

A lot of ebays customers are running business' or are generating a 2nd income unknown to the tax man / inland revenue

Actually I heard it was going to be anyone who sells more than 60 items a year.

Which means if you just happen to get rid of alot of stuff you no longer want/need you'll get taxed on it...even though you already paid tax when you bought it new.

Good old rip off Britain at its best.
