Hi,

As long as it is your own stuff that you are selling and you are not running a business on Ebay, then there shouldn't be a problem.

As to banks, HSBC won't touch you - they hate BR people. Barclays should be ok, but it won't be any different to the Co-op as far as I am aware. I'd stick with them.

There is nothing wrong with selling or buying goods by ebay provided it is for personal/family use and not as a business. You do not need to disclose this to the OR as each amount/sale would be small. With regard to opening a bank account do this as soon as you can there is no need to wait until you hear again from the or - everyone should have access to their own account, a very good account which comes highly recommended by forum posters is the C0-Operative cash minder account, the Co-Op are very bankruptcy friendly - you can open a basic bank account with any bank though, provided you have no debt linked to that bank.

Unless it is HSBC or First Direct Melanie. They don't do either IVA or BR.

I think what melanie was saying was that there is no legal objection to opening an account with any bank, just that some banks have personal preferences
