I haven't looked at this thread since the beginning, only just skimmed the last 2 pages now. But I was requested (demanded) to register my business earlier last year for a July 2020 start, and told registration verified and successful, you will be notified 2 weeks prior, etc, etc. Nothing since! Not a peep. Even asked if I had done something wrong on another query chat in September, and told no, everything fine, you will be notified when they are ready. Fine, happy with the old system, and sales continuing as normal. Last month my private account, that I haven't sold anything on for years (only purchases) was 'requested' to register, so I thought, what the heck just do it, nothing will happen anyway. It was WAY easier to register than the business account, and guess what, already received the 2 week's notice that it will be activated. Go figure?
Also, just to comment on 2 posts in last 2 pages:
drifter2047 be careful, eBay report all accounts (private and business) to the ATO that gross over a certain amount (think it is $10,000 pa) - about 5 years ago, a friend was reported for clearing out his shed, and ATO forced him to pay full tax for not reporting, and didn't allow any deductions.
south.coffee You still get real email addresses from PayPal? Does anyone else? Maybe they only stopped the business accounts and not private? They stopped putting them on mine on 1/9/2018, and eBay stopped on 10/10/20 - have been using the encrypted link to send my normal confirmations since then, so have no idea if they are getting through or if I am wasting my time - does anyone know?
