Hi
I have an ebay account and I was asked by a friend (he doesn't have an ebay account) to sell a high priced item (around 700 euros). If it sells I will get a 100 euro cut.
The only thing is that my friend wants to be paid in cash, if the item sells. Since the money trail ends with me, will I get whacked by the taxman next year for the tax on the full amount of the item? Is it even worth my while doing this? I think not but I'd like others view on this also.
Thanks
