I got a notice from ebay that said before they can deposit anymore money in my checking account from the junk I've sold I had to give them my social number. It was because I was over the $600 limit.

So I guess now I will pay taxes on stuff that I've already paid taxes on and now resold?

Exactly. Taxing people on shite that's already been taxed.

You are selling it at a loss. Hopefully someone pushes the issues that these should be deductions for many people, not income.

IF you can show your basis is higher than the amount realized from the sale you do not owe any taxes.

The initial limit of 20K or (I think) 200 transactions was IMO reasonable because there were a lot of people using eBay as a business but didn't report the income. Dropping it to $600 is just a joke and will cost people time and money well above any "profit" just to deal with their tax prep.

Yeah it's some dumb shite. Just a way for them to get more money out of us.

I thought they started the 600$ threshold last yr.

You’re going to pay taxes on the profit from the resale. That’s the way it should be.
