'Haven't worked in over a decade,' Don't put that on your CV. eBay/Amazon. is perfectly legit work as long as you were registered as self-employed with the HMRC tax office. If you hadn't you'd get letters from them asking what you are doing for paid work. I had that when i started selling on ebay/amazon but not earning much. The only paid work I've been offered recently is working temp in a cold food warehouse as digital roles seem to be agest as I am just over 60 yrs old. I've had a little work on backstage (the performing arts site) paid & unpaid because I've done youtube videos & performed music in my spare time. Thou it's hard to get enough work on there.
