Do you realise you have to report your ebay earnings to Centrelink?
Had some dealings with centrelink this week and blow me down I have to report my earnings for my HOBBIE every item sold each fortnight. No deductions, if I have something up with FREE postage I have to include the postage as earnings also. So have had to end all items with FREE postage and alter them before relisting with postage extra, bang goes this ebay Top Seller sh....t.
I am so deflated.
Please beware all you ebay sellers on centrelink/pensioner payments.

·6 months agoHi Joan
I am on the disability support pension and delivered a Wednesday local newspaper and later pamphlets into letter boxes from my 3 wheel tricycle.
In the early 2000‘s you could earn upto $100 per fortnight without any deduction.
50 cents per every dollar over was deducted.
So $101 was $100.50

·6 months agoMack, this thread is 12 years old so Joan would have had to sort it out long since.
You are right though in that people on a pension can earn a certain amount before deductions kick in.
I'd think if a person on a pension sold a couple of small cost items as a one off they would be fine not to declare it, but if they were selling things regularly on ebay as a small business, different matter.
