    Default Upgrading to Business - HELP Needed

    Hi, I registered on Ebid in the very early days and have lifetime +, then moved to the other site where my private account eventually became a Business account. I'm now back to give Ebid another go as its pretty dire 'over there'. My account on here is still Private and will need updating. Will this effect my lifetime +, are there any charges/fees involved? My other Business account is registered with the tax office and I fill in the return each year but I never make nearly enough to pay tax. I'm really struggling to understand how I tie this account in with that one, do I have to register this Ebid account with tax office separately as a new Business? Or can I change the user name on here to match my existing Business so it ties in that way. I'm afraid I am not business orientated, I sell more for a hobby and to make pocket money, but as the items are new - thus I am a business. Can't seem to find any info on Ebid re business accounts at all. I'm wondering if its just too much hassle to restart this account up! Any advice most welcome.

    All you need to do is go to https://www.ebid.net/uk/perl/account...ccount-details and change your account type from Individual to Business at the bottom of the page then save the change. There is no difference in fees.

    If you want to change your username you will need to contact support as detailed in the help section: https://www.ebid.net/uk/help_register.php

    If you are lifetime + it shouldn't make any difference, just go into your personal details on your eBid page and tick the business button.

    As far as I know if you are just a small seller and not a registered company you can put all your earnings on the same tax return. I don't make enough to pay tax either and just put my earnings from all sites together and call it internet retail. When I do my books I do make a note of what item has sold on what site just in case there are any questions and I have to trace the records.

    You can change your user name if you want to but will need to contact support@ebid.net to get it done. Hope this helps.

    Thank you. It was the bit on the tax form that asks name and type of business that was puzzling me, I see now that I can lump Ebid sales together and add it to all sales. Will give it another go on here, it can't hurt and cant possibly be any worse than 'over there' at moment .... but buyers have to come over here too.
