Hi, I sell on ebay different items like cosmetics, computer cables, flashlights ect. Its more like a hobby but still I earn some money. I can't figure out what to choose in Main business or professional activity. I type so many variants but can't find the right one. I don't work, so it's my only income. By the way your livechat doesnt work, not in chrome, not in mozilla, it's frustrating. Thank you.
Hi @ElenaS,
From what you've described, it sounds like your business activity falls under 43109 Non-Store Retailing n.e.c (internet retailing operation).
Sorry to hear you weren't able to access livechat! Hopefully this has answered your question.

EBAY retail.
Beekeeping might be hobby - not selling online is not, unless you are just disposing of your own private items.
Thank you. I do understand it's not a hobby. The problem is I am trying to lodge it online and there is not such a thing as ebay retail. It says Activity not found. And there are so many options when you search by "retailing" which I don't understand. Like except direct marketing, except commission based, commission based, n.e.c, non store retailing, other store based retailing etc. I just don't know which category to choose.
