Its all very well knowing what sells well, Its finding it thats the problem, and finding enough and regularly at the right price.

classic catch-22

Most people that do well on ebay have the buying power to go back the factory gates in China and buy in thousands. That way they get the right price. It allows them to sell at the right price. They get lots of feedbacks and their adverts go to the front. So they spiral upwards.

Dickie Heads like me who can't afford to go to China or buy in thousands will always be just the also rans in this game.

a friend was telling me about her uncle,he was making a decent living flitting back n forth to China buying stuff to sell over here. but on his return from a trip to china he was suddenly very ill and died . he had bank accounts over in China but none of these could be found by his relatives . they even enlisted help from chinese folk living here-but the veil had come down in China and all was lost.

I have been looking at an online store im self empolyed so would i need to do two lots of accounts or can it all be done on one set of books 

if you need a second lot of accounts ect it will be classed as a second income and i'll get taxed loads 

What do you guys do can you run it under one business or not 

[dave0123]

Sole Trader can tade under multiple name or diffrent business but it all comes under one set of accounts (tax return) just gets lumped together.

50k gross ebay, 50k gross wc'ing, would still be under the limit. I think?
