Trade Sector for eBay business - Flat Rate Scheme

[nickjonesuk]

Hello,

Looking at the VAT FRS trade sectors. There is no obvious trade sector for mail order companies such as eBay sellers, I will be speaking with HMRC on Monday but can anyone tell me generally what an eBay seller providing goods only comes under. I think it may be Other Retailing which is 6%, 1% reduction in first year.

Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

I have a website and that's what I am on, although I think it's 5.5% now since Dec 1, when they decreased the VAT rate, and indeed minus 1% for the first year.
