Hope this in the right place...
Basically I make handmade cards and since giving them out for birthdays and such like, have had quite a few people say I should sell them
For small things like these, ebay is a rip off, by the time they've took my listing fee, then final selling fee, i aint really left with much profit
Anyhoo, I've come across like an online craft market, its kinda like ebay (you have your own shop etc) but its only £25 for a whole year, which works out better than ebay, I can tell ya!
Quite a few people on their have mentioned that they have had to register themselves as self employed...is this really necessary?
Each card I make, costs aprx 50p to make....I'm planning on selling most at about £1.50 -£3.00... Its more for enjoyment than profit...what i make will probably go on more stuff to make them with!
Will i really be making that much that I should register as self employed?
Answers on a postcard.........
Thanks in advance

there wont be much profit tho...thats my point x
Just do it for fun and think you're not planning to make profit, and if it is successful things will start to take off and it could develop.
The inland revenue won't care about that, they'll chase you anyway.

Paypal keeps records of all your transactions, and your bankstatements will show up that you've recieved a payment from Paypal San Jose.
