EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

In my state that had never been required before. So the real question is, are we buying from the seller or are we buying from ebay? Ebay seems to have it both ways as it works to their benefit. Yes, you bought it from us and that is why you are paying sales tax. No, you bought if from the seller so don't think you will hold us responsible for *****.

I have sold tens of thousands of dollars of stuff on ebay in the past 20 years or so, but I dropped my selling last year when they demanded direct access to my bank account. I no longer need either the money, the hassle or the exposure. Local charity thrift stores now benefit from my disposing of "surplus property."

Of course, we need to applaud new taxes on working classes. It relieves the responsibility for the rich to pay, and that means that they will create more jobs and the positive benefits will trickle down on us, yet again.

At my age, if I sold more than $600.00 on ebay, I would toss the 1099 in the trash and let the IRS prove that I owed them money.
