  • Amazon & eBay Seller Accounts

    Hi just looking for some advice on separation please 1x Amazon and 1x eBay account, both in sole trader name VAT registered under the FRS selling similar items. Amazon account is FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) so everything is sold stored dispatched, and customer service provided by Amazon (Items shipped in bulk to Amazon warehouse once every month ) eBay everything stored in house, and shipped personally. Thinking of selling the eBay side of things sometime in the future, the only way to do that is for the eBay account to be a limited company and not a sole trader. If by registering a Ltd company for the eBay, with its own bank account, everything totally separate from the sole trader and also registering the LTD company for VAT from day 1 could this be seen as separated artificially ? It is not a scheme to avoid VAT as both will be registered, Amazon is a totally different business model to eBay, everything will be separated, and each business will not rely on one or another Please Advise Thank you
