If you are obtaining an income from it then yes, and if you are opening a wholesalers account you are hoping to do just that. Contact the Inland Revenue and they will be able to help you. Don't try and avoid it as they will find you and the consequences are really not worth it.

Of course it does. As long as you are buying for resale (as opposed to selling stuff you have owned for a long time or were given) you are a business. If you have income, you have to report it (in the U.S.) and if you're a business for tax purposes, you are allowed to subtract expenses (on Schedule C) but only if you make a profit in your first years (3 of 5) If you continue to have losses, you may be considered to have a hobby from which you make money in which case you have to pay tax on all the income and deduct none of the expenses.

Yes it does if your income goes through a certain threshold. I am not sure what the amount is, but there has been a lot of publicity recently on such an issue. Do a search on BBC website, I think I remember reading something about it on there.

Hi – I am an established seller on eBay. eBay has been my full time job for 4 years, and I have sold over 12,000 items.
You'll need to report your sales on your tax return. Usually if you buy wholesale, you need a business license.
Please email me directly and I can share more information with you.
