Well if I buy something for $1000 and sell it used for $800 the IRS wants a
cut for something I lost money on? This will be an accounting nightmare!!!
You will need to keep receipts on everything you might sell on Ebay to prove
you took a loss? Does that mean that the buyer will have to pay taxes on the
purchase also? Double taxation just like on your used car when you sell it.
The 2nd buyer pays taxes on something that has already been taxed. When are
they going to require a tax on my kids allowance?

Subject: Re: [Amps] Time to Quit Using PayPal?
Unfortunately, the Internal Revenue Service is "cracking down" on people who
sell things using eBay and PayPal. It seems that way too many persons are
making profits selling items and not reporting them to the IRS. It isn't
PayPal's idea to get Social Security numbers, it is the United States
Government's requirements. PayPal and eBay are going to have to report sales
figures to the government!
