    Great videos, just subscribed, but I was wondering, how come your VAT was 7.5 percent on the sale as opposed to 20 percent VAT rate?

    • @disc_traders
      @disc_traders  9 месяцев назад +1

      Flat rate scheme. I can't claim vat on purchases, but I pay a flat 7.5% on the whole sale.

      @@disc_traders sorry, I hope this is not been too nosey / indepth, I'm just wondering as I try to keep under the vat limit as it seems to get more complicated for accounting, but I noticed on your eBay account about me page, does not detail a VAT registration number, I've read in the past that flat rate vat sellers have had issues as buyers request a vat receipt but I believe the flat rate seller can't offer a vat receipt, which can cause confusion..... So my main question would be, do ebay business account have an option for the flat vat rate seller, so that they do not have to show their vat number... To avoid confusion to the buyer... Hope that is not too much of a nosey question.

    • @disc_traders
      @disc_traders  9 месяцев назад

      A vat number should be being displayed on my account. People have previously asked for vat receipt and they've been confuses about only 7.5% but thats all I can provide to them 😅

    Hey man! Love your videos
    Just curious about postage, I assume you charge customers for postage on top of what you sell them for? I’m based in Ireland it’s extortionately expensive to post a single game if I want to get tracking number , minimum of €9 for a single game in a large letter envelope
    It makes it impossible to compete on price with everyone else
    I know you’re in the Uk but just curious what way you do it
    Cheers

    • @disc_traders
      @disc_traders  8 месяцев назад

      Free postage, everything tracked 48 with royal mail and because I send 10,000+ per year then I get a discounted price of £2.30 large letter up to 750g and £3 parcel up to 60x41x41cm 2kg

      Do you ship worldwide or just within the UK?
      Obviously the customer base in the Uk is extremely bigger than Ireland , I find a lot of people don’t use eBay in Ireland too
      Thanks for the info anyways , looking forward to future videos :)

    Why not just putting games in alphabetical order ....seems like it would take more time to print lables and catalogue.
    The alphabet is already a catalogue system and its already printed on the case 🤷‍♂️
    Gotta give you orops though seems like a very efficient setup you have!

  • @RobertFierce
    @RobertFierce 9 месяцев назад

    Why do you stress yourself with small items with low profit margin? Why not just dabble in brand new inventory?
    Just buy consoles and resell those with a margin of 50 pounds profit each? No warehouse system required either because they're all visible and in the box. No cleaning and no wasted time inspecting every minute detail or dealing with replacing parts. I mean I work and it pays 20 an hour but if I wasn't I would definitely look into the new stock instead.

    • @disc_traders
      @disc_traders  9 месяцев назад

      Consoles requires a hell of a lot more time than the games. And even in this slump I'm making more than 20 an hour. The system may seem overkill at the moment but it won't when I've expanded to cover the whole of the warehouse
