Marketplace and Social Selling Compliance Checklist
About this document
Selling on marketplaces and social media is quick to start, but you are still a trader with full consumer law, product safety and tax obligations. Platforms now report sellers’ income to HMRC, and enforcement bodies increasingly target marketplace sellers. This checklist helps you check you are compliant across every channel.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
