[Amps] Time to Quit Using PayPal?

[Glen Zook]

You didn't get the memo!  You are supposed to prime your children for the "real world" which includes payroll taxes, etc.!  :>)

My youngest daughter, who is now almost 33, got a real shock when she started working part time in high school.  She didn't understand how the government could take so much of what she made as taxes.'

Until their is a VAT ("value added tax") the federal government wouldn't require a tax be put upon the purchaser.  However, there are several states that are doing "their best" to require payment of the state "sales tax" on eBay purchases made by people residing in their state.

Well if I buy something for $1000 and sell it used for $800 the IRS wants a ‎cut for something I lost money on?

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?
