Accepted offers do not become sold items while waiting for payment
Good morning, for two days now I’ve been having a problem managing accepted offers on eBay. When a buyer accepts one of my offers, the order no longer appears among the sold items awaiting payment. For me, as the seller, the order disappears completely, while for the buyer it shows as due for payment within 3 days. This situation makes it impossible to: view the order, manage any combined shipping, correctly track payments, take action if the buyer does not complete the payment. Are you experiencing this problem too? This behavior is not in line with the platform’s normal functioning and compromises sales management... If it’s a bug, I hope they fix it as soon as possible

I registered with my VAT number, but eBay is charging me 22% VAT
I need help. I registered with my VAT number as a sole proprietorship, but the problem is that Ebay invoices me the selling fees as a private user, applying 22%. Being a VAT number, however, it should invoice me with zero VAT so that I can then generate the corresponding self-invoice. How can I resolve this? Thanks

DAC7, does the regulation take into account transactions or also the number of listings?
THE REGULATION TALKS ABOUT TRANSACTIONS OR ALSO ABOUT LISTINGS

EPR... Lucid and various devilry, let's talk about it
I am a small professional seller of vintage used collectible items. I’m trying to figure out whether the new measures to “protect” the environment, which would make us pay a disposal fee for the lifecycle of each item we would sell in Europe, apply only to factory-new products or also to used items. It’s clear that, on top of the Italian tax burden, if we start adding an annual fee for every European country in which we happen to sell, it would cripple us. Does anyone have more precise information?

Sale of used personal belongings and tax return
Good morning everyone. For a few months now I’ve started selling some personal items on e-bay, mostly books and used clothes. The goal is to make a bit of room at home without throwing away things accumulated over the years, also following the death of my grandparents. Everything I put up for sale is not bought with the intent to resell and therefore does not generate any real profit. I’d like to understand whether there is a limit on the number of items I can sell beyond which I have to declare the income in my 730 (I’m an employee without a VAT number and not a trader). Thanks Regards

Gprs. How to manage some product listings provided by distributors rather than manufacturers
Hello, as per the title I would like some help regarding GPRS. I’m having some difficulty with some articles that are distributed by Italian companies, but imported from abroad. In this case, with many companies and hundreds of articles, how could I shorten it? Taking each product and requesting information on every single one is very complicated and would make me waste a lot of time
