That’s not eBay that’s HMRC, I’ve had my account suspended because I didn’t provide the data. I’m sure it’s probably OK and a sign of the times but I’m not really wanting to find ebay sales factored into my taxable income so thought I’d wait a while and see how the dust settles

This is HMRC's sudden obsession with "side hustles", as they want to scrape a bit more income from the average person on the street/Clapham omnibus rather than Reeves introduce a wealth tax or bring CGT in line with income tax or do anything significant to get more money from the very rich.
