    Ebay totally sucks. Be careful

    They are now sending your info to the IRS for any sales over 600 bucks. You must provide a social security number or you dont get paid. They are charging final value fees that now include shipping and tax(which the buyer pays). So 12.55% +30 cents plus you have to report it on your federal return and state return so I figure add 30% at least to your asking price. 119 dollars plus is what they charged me on an 850 dollar sale. Not worth it if you ask me.

    I wondered what someone on another forum was talking about when he mentioned an IRS tax. I'm curious, is this for all sellers or just businesses?

    Yes. All sellers and not just one item either...all of your sales combined over 600 will get reported. Charge accordingly. And stop voting Democrat if you do.

    Man, that is steep!

    Time to revert to old school money orders or cashiers checks. Do your business on the message boards or FB and privately handle everything.

    Probably so. They are trying anything they can to steal more money from us taxpayers so they can give it to illegals and pay for the new wall around Bidens delaware house.
