ICYMI: Vinted did a U-turn on delivery method changes after sellers protested last year. Buyers initially got to pick delivery types, which led to a lot of confusion β€” especially if printers weren’t on hand for those postage labels. Vinted restored its old shipping options post-backlash. πŸ“¦

Tax talk! If you’re selling, remember you can earn up to Β£1,000 a year before tax kicks in β€” known as a trading allowance. Over that, HMRC is involved via self-assessment. But if you’re clearing out the attic, no worries on tax unless you’re making consistent profits.

Heads-up for online sellers: eBay and Vinted report sales data to HMRC over 30 items sold or €2,000 earned. But only those engaged in trading need to pay taxes.

In 2029, a new form will let you declare earnings under Β£3,000 easily β€” and without fuss. The report process is changing, but tax dues remain the same.

Stay savvy, sellers! πŸ“²πŸ’Έ
