DonM That’s unfortunate. but since I’m selling at a loss, it’s just a minor annoyance.
Can you prove that?
That's the thing that pisses me off about the whole situation of the places reporting sales/money deposited. It's all the IRS & Paypal, Ebay, etc. care about, the bottom line. It then puts a burden of proof on us. WE have to keep every detail/receipt, WE have to deal with how to do all the damn paperwork, just to show WE didn't actually make any "income". It's bullshit, plain and simple. And, you can be sure, if you are reported to have xxx$ over a certain limit, you will be deemed a 'business'; then they will be wanting permits/licenses/tax numbers, etc..
So no, it is nothing of a minor consequence; not in my mind anyway. It's major!
