furthermore, just because you dont have 'a business' or 'an ABN' doesnt mean you shouldnt have to pay the traders fee.

IMO if you sell anything other than occasional personal stuff thats come from YOUR car because you dont need/want it, or upgrading etc then you are a trader.

Specifically in your case, if I was paying $440 a year, and I saw how regularly you have stuff for sale in your sig, I would be annoyed.
Agreed. I'm in contact with grumpy rooster RE this and will obviously look after the interest of the traders who keep this site going.

On another note........just to clarify, you only have to be registered for GST if you're making over 50K. But there's nothing stoping you from getting an ABN even if you're not registered for GST.

But yes, the for sale forum is only for our surplus items. If you can order any product in.....then you are a commercial trader.
